What goes in your Wheelie Bins?

Green Waste Bin - Green Lid

Green lidded green waste bins are collected fortnightly (on the alternate week to your recycle bin) on the same day as your refuse bin. 

By recovering garden waste Council is reducing the amount of methane, a greenhouse gas, being produced; conserving space in the Kirknie Road andfill and re-using a valuable resource.

Large quantities of green waste to dispose?

Large quantities of both domestic and commerical green waste can be disposed of at Kirknie Landfill, Ayr, Home Hill and Giru Transfer Stations free of charge.

  

Free Mulch!

Recovered garden waste is processed into mulch which Burdekin residents can collect free of charge from Council's Transfer Stations.  Mulch needs to be loaded by the person taking it, as Council does not provider a loader on site.  If you require a large amount of mulch you can arrange to bring a loader on site providing the operator has all the relevant tickets and public liability insurance.  Please contact Council's Waste Services Team on (07) 4783 9800 if you require large quanities of mulch.
