Rondebosch mixes large family homes on leafy streets, student houses and digs near Main Road and UCT, and a cluster of schools including Bishops, Rondebosch Boys' and Rustenburg. Skip jobs range from student move-outs at the end of the academic year to full house renovations, and placement depends on which part of the suburb you are in.
Where to put a skip in Rondebosch
Family homes in Rondebosch generally have driveways, and a skip there needs no City permit. Student houses are less predictable: some have a drive or a yard gate, others only a strip of pavement, and complexes near Main Road will have body corporate rules on shared parking.
Where the road, pavement or verge is the only option, the City's prior written permission comes first, via a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) application at the Roads Infrastructure Management district office. The admin fee is R712 on the 2026/27 tariff, and there is no online application.
- Tell us if the drive is shared with a neighbour or a cottage.
- Keep the pavement clear for school-run foot traffic.
- Students: check with the landlord before booking a skip onto the property.
- Fill to the rim, never above it.
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.
School runs and Main Road congestion in Rondebosch
With so many schools in a small area, Rondebosch roads crawl during the morning drop-off and the afternoon pick-up, and Main Road through the village is slow for much of the day. Campground Road and Belmont Road carry heavy traffic too. Because delivery is booked for the same week rather than a set time slot, the step to take is to keep the driveway clear and the gate open, or someone home, for the whole delivery day.

The 2m³ skip arrives
The skip-loader truck sets the skip down on the spot you choose, normally a driveway or yard. A spot on the road or verge needs the City's written permission first.
Fill it, then collection
You get 3 days to load it to the rim. Collection and licensed disposal are in the price for rubble, garden and household waste.
Good to know before you book in Rondebosch
Can a landlord book a skip for a Rondebosch student house?
Yes, a landlord can book a skip for a Rondebosch student house, and for a move-out that puts one person in charge. The landlord or agent books, pays and decides where the skip goes. With a driveway it can go there with no permit; without one, the landlord needs the City's prior written permission for road placement before delivery. Tenants then fill it no higher than the rim.
Can I get a skip during the November and December move-out rush?
Yes, you can get a skip during the November and December move-out rush, on working days: our hours are Monday to Friday 08:00–17:00 and Saturday 08:00–13:00, closed on Sundays and public holidays. Delivery is booked for the same week, so book as soon as moving dates are set. The Day of Reconciliation on 16 December and the Christmas public holidays fall in the middle of that period.
What if my driveway is shared with a cottage or a neighbour?
With a driveway shared with a cottage or a neighbour, agree the skip with them first. A skip on a shared driveway is on private property, so no City permit is needed, but it can block a car in for the 3 days it is on site. Where the driveway allows it, place the skip so the neighbour can still get out, and keep the load level with the rim so the truck can lift it cleanly.
