The Schrinner Council will kick off another financial year of the free kerbside collection services, where residents will be able to dispose of large household items for free, saving costs and reducing illegal dumping in our suburbs.

Items must be placed on the kerbside by 6am on the first day of the collection period and should not obstruct the footpath.

The annual calendar helps residents plan ahead for the free kerbside collection and reduce unnecessary trips to the tip.

To help reduce landfill, donate household items in usable condition to friends or family, a local charity, or reuse and recycling organisations before you place them for collection on the kerb.

Donated items that can be resold may be taken to Council’s Treasure Troves in Acacia Ridge and Geebung, so residents can shop pre-loved items at a fraction of the cost.

The initiative is one of the many other ways Council is tackling waste, including dropping the price of owning a green garden waste bin to less than $1 a week and introducing $100 and $200 rebates for composting equipment at home.

I am Council is committed to keeping costs down for residents, while delivering the services that make our suburbs even better.

We know residents love this service, which saves them money and helps keep our suburbs clean.

We will continue to provide more budget-busting incentives for residents to help them stay sustainable at home.

• bath and laundry tubs
• bicycles and sporting equipment
• carpet and rugs
• electronic waste (e.g. televisions and computers)
• furniture and white goods (e.g. fridges and stoves)
