Tweed Heads, Banora Point, and Pottsville residents are being asked to have hard waste and green waste from Ex-Cyclone Alfred available for collection by 6am, Monday March 17.
The Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre has reopened to the public but he Tweed Council is urging residents to allow council to do the collection of the cyclone waste rathern than take it to the tip.
‘We will gradually progress around the shire, but it will take time so please be patient,’ said Director Sustainable Communities and Environment, Naomi Searle.
‘We encourage residents in all other suburbs to have their cyclone clean up out on the kerb by Sunday, March 23 at the latest.
‘Please place all green and hard waste in neat piles on the kerb, but not on the road and not in a spot that will impede regular household bin collections. We trust our community will only put out legitimate cyclone-impacted green and hard waste so we can get back on track quickly.’
Normal bin collection
Tweed Council has confirmed that regular green, red and yellow bin services will continue as normal.
‘Use your regular green bin service for anything that can fit like leaves, light debris, fronds or unpackaged food waste or your red and yellow bin service for hard waste items that fit. Chat with neighbours ask if you can top up their green bin if there is space,’ said Ms Searle.
