This initiative is an opportunity for residents prepare their yard ahead of cyclone season and remove potential hazardous green waste.
From 11 September, Verge side collection will be conducted in a staggered approach across our five towns over three weeks.
All green waste to be placed on verge side no earlier than two weeks prior and no later than the day before collection service starts.
Green waste that is collected, is reused and processed into mulch and soil conditioner.
