The weather and your waste
Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards 2012
Sunshine Coast residents may experience some disruption to normal
waste rubbish collection over the next few days due to current
wet weather conditions.
If the waste or recycling collection service in your area is
interrupted or delayed during the current rain event, please
leave your bin out the front of your property and it will be
emptied within a day or two, or as soon as possible.
If your bin has not been emptied for a few days and you need the
waste space, you can take your bin to the nearest waste disposal
centre yourself, and empty it there free of charge.
If you find yourself in a severe situation that is dependent upon
the bin being emptied, ring the customer service centre at
council to make the appropriate arrangements.
Storms and flooding may restrict the processing ability of the
recycling plants, however, collection of your bins will continue
– but you may see different trucks providing the service for a
short time. Normal services will resume as soon as
possible.
Vehicle access to the tips and transfer stations may be severely
limited during a major storm or flood event. Residents are
advised to contact council before planning a trip to the
tip.
Normal tipping rates will apply unless an announcement to the
contrary is made by council.
Council may provide additional assistance following large flood
events. Additional assistance will not automatically occur and
will be dependent on the extent of the damage or hardship caused
by the storm.
Listen to local radio for regular updates about conditions and
log on to the Bureau of Meteorology website for weather
warnings.
Check council’s Facebook site at
www.facebook.com/SunshineCoastCouncil as it will be updated
regularly with information about road closures so please check it
before getting into your car.
