We use the binned bispectrum estimator to determine the bispectra of the dust, free-free, synchrotron, and AME galactic foregrounds using maps produced by the Commander component separation method from Planck 2015 data. We find that all of these peak in the squeezed configuration, allowing for potential confusion with in particular the local primordial shape. Applying an additional functionality implemented in the binned bispectrum estimator code, we then use these galactic bispectra as templates in an $f_mathrm{NL}$ analysis of other maps. After testing and validating the method and code with simulations, we show that we detect the dust in the raw 143 GHz map with the expected amplitude (the other galactic foregrounds are too weak at 143 GHz to be detected) and that no galactic residuals are detected in the cleaned CMB map. We also investigate the effect of the mask on the templates and the effect of the choice of binning on a joint dust-primordial $f_mathrm{NL}$ analysis.
