Waste and Recycling

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BIN COLLECTION

RETURN TO NORMAL SERVICES

• Council would like to thank the residents of Ipswich for their patience and understanding throughout the past fortnight as the threat and impacts of Tropical Cyclone Alfred interrupted waste services.
• Council has worked to provide catch-up bin collection services across Ipswich where possible since interruptions forced by the weather event.
• All collection services returned to normal on Monday 17 March.

FREE DISPOSAL SERVICES

• Free disposal of domestic volumes of waste is available at our Resource Recovery Centres in Riverview and Rosewood up to and including Sunday 23 March for residents impacted by TC Alfred and the associated flooding.
• Storm debris, green waste and materials from weather-related property damage can also be disposed of for free at these sites up to and including Sunday 23 March.
• Residents who require flood waste removal due to floodwaters entering their homes should contact council for assistance.

OVERWEIGHT BINS

• Some residents have been advised of overweight bins where they exceed a weight of 70kg and are too heavy to be lifted.
• If your bin has a red and white sticker on the lid informing that it is overweight, please reduce the weight of your bin and request recollection by calling council on 07 3810 6666. Further information about requesting recollection is included on the sticker.
• Surplus material can be taken to Resource Recovery Centres at Riverview or Rosewood for free disposal up to and including Sunday 23 March, or reloaded into the bin once it has been collected.
• Resource Recovery Centres are open from 7am to 5pm, seven days a week.
