Gold Coast ‘green thumbs’ will be rewarded for dropping their green waste at the City’s newest Green Waste Drop and Go zones in Merrimac and Coomera.
Customers will receive one bag of free compost per load of green waste dropped to the new zone while stocks last.
Acting Mayor Donna Gates said the new Green Waste Drop and Go zones are a great addition to our existing locations at Molendinar and Reedy Creek, delivering a more user-friendly experience.
“Residents will now be able to drive in and drop their green waste directly off the back of their vehicle or trailer on to a designated ground level area,” she said.
“This new streamlined process will make it easier for those disposing of large quantities of green waste. It eliminates the need for lifting and loading into bins, allowing for reduced waiting times.”
Green waste dropped at waste and recycling centres is composted, with some used for City green space.
The newly-opened Coomera Green Waste Centre accepts green waste only.
The Drop and Go zone at Merrimac is within the existing Merrimac Waste and Recycling Centre.
