Longreach Regional Council will confirm the date of the next kerbside collection once finalised. In the meantime, please utilise the local Waste Disposal Facilities, which are free to access for our residents.
Please place items for collection in the rear laneway or on the footpath easement prior to 6am on the first day of the collection period. Ensure all items that you would like to keep are removed from the footpaths and laneways or they will be collected. Do not place waste out for collection prior to the Saturday of the collection period.
Residential households in the Longreach Regional Council area, including rental properties, houses, and multi-unit dwellings, are eligible to take part in the kerbside large item collection service. Properties that are not eligible include commercial properties, schools, and vacant land.
Guidelines:
When putting out items for collection, remember:
- Keep piles tidy on the kerb, keeping the footpath, roadway, and/or laneway clear,
- Do not leave sharp or dangerous objects on the footpath, roadway and/or laneway,
- Items must be able to be easily and safely lifted by two people within 5 minutes,
- Remove doors from refrigerators and/or cupboards,
- Secure items if severe weather is expected.
Remember to delete data from your electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops before disposing of them to help prevent theft of your personal information (known as 'identity theft'). Contact the manufacturer for advice on erasing data and personal information from your device and associated applications. Erasing your personal information ensures no-one can access it after you've disposed of your device. Ensure you remove batteries from any electronic items.
Council will not collect unacceptable items placed on the kerb. Illegal dumping fines may apply if unacceptable material is not removed within seven days of the notified collection period.
