Simon's Town is a naval town strung along False Bay, with the M4 arriving as Main Road from Glencairn and running through the historic centre as St George's Street, alongside the naval dockyard. Behind the town, homes climb the mountain on steep roads and terraced plots, some with steep driveways and some with none, and baboons are a familiar sight. Visitor traffic to Boulders Beach and Cape Point adds to the mix in summer.
Driveways, terraces and the road: placing a skip in Simon's Town
On the slopes above St George's Street, aim for a driveway first, since private property needs no City permit. Tell us how steep it is and whether there is a sharp turn in from the road, so it is clear before delivery whether the skip can be set down safely there.
Homes in the historic centre and the older terraces near the main street often have no off-street space. A skip on the street, pavement or verge needs the City's prior written permission, through a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) application to the Roads Infrastructure Management district office. The admin fee is R712 (2026/27 tariff), the City can ask for a refundable deposit, and there is no online application.
- Never block the pavement on St George's Street; pedestrians need it.
- On a terraced plot, choose a spot at road level and bring waste down to it in bags.
- In a complex, check the body corporate's rules before booking.
- Mention sharp bends or narrow sections on the road up to your house.
Driveway or road: the City rule
A skip on your own driveway, yard or paving needs no City permit. A skip on a public road, pavement or verge needs the prior written permission of the City of Cape Town, according to the City's Streets, Public Places and Prevention of Noise Nuisances By-law, 2007, section 10, which counts the verge as part of the road.
The application is a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) form, handed in at the Roads Infrastructure Management district office. The admin fee is R712 for 2026/27, and the City can ask for a refundable deposit. There is no online application.
Steep roads, the M4 and baboons in Simon's Town
The M4 is the main coastal road through Simon's Town, so the truck shares it with commuters and, in summer, visitors heading for Boulders and Cape Point. The residential roads above town are steep, with tight bends in places. A clear description of the road to your gate, or a photo on WhatsApp, helps plan the drop.
Baboons range through Simon's Town and raid unsecured bins, so treat the skip the same way: no food scraps, and fruit-bearing garden waste buried under heavier material, in line with the City's baboon guidance. The south-easter blows hard here in summer, so flatten cardboard and keep it under rubble.

Good to know before you book in Simon's Town
Do I need a permit for a skip outside my house on St George's Street?
Yes, you need a permit for a skip outside your house on St George's Street, because a skip on the street, pavement or verge needs the City's prior written permission before it arrives. Apply for Temporary Use (of the road reserve) at the City's Roads Infrastructure Management district office; the admin fee is R712 on the 2026/27 tariff, and the City can ask for a refundable deposit. There's no online application. Either way, leave the pavement clear for pedestrians.
What can't go in the skip during a Simon's Town renovation?
Asbestos can't go in the skip during a Simon's Town renovation, and it is the one to watch in older buildings: it needs a registered asbestos contractor, not a skip. Paint, solvents, oil, chemicals, gas cylinders, tyres, batteries, liquids, medical waste and e-waste are excluded too. Bricks, plaster, tiles, timber and general household waste are fine, loaded no higher than the rim.
Can I keep the skip longer than 3 days for a bigger job?
Yes, you can keep the skip longer than 3 days for a bigger job, as longer hire is available on request. The R900 all-in price covers 3 days on site, so when a renovation on a steep plot will run on, say so when you WhatsApp or call 064 582 1436. Plan the work so the skip is on site for the part of the job that produces the most waste.
