Mayor Darren Power said Council is ready for another busy weekend, as storm clean-up efforts continue.

Green waste means go for Council staff, contractors and volunteer clean-up crews who are clearing and removing fallen trees and green debris from roads and driveways across the city this weekend.

Mammoth clean-up efforts in recent days, including assistance from the Australian Defence Force and Disaster Relief Australia, have helped dent the recovery workload but significant clearing work is still to be done.

City of Logan residents who are able to transport their green waste to Council’s waste facilities are being encouraged to do so this weekend. It will be accepted at no cost.

All loads greater than two cubic metres must be taken to Council’s Browns Plains waste facility at 41 Recycle Way in Heritage Park.

Residents who are unable to attend a waste facility should leave their green waste on the kerb for Council and contractors to collect.

Green waste piles should be stacked neatly to make collection easier for Council, and to reduce hazards to pedestrians and drivers in the area.

Council staff and volunteers are also door knocking impacted communities to assess properties still in need of storm damage assistance. Information cards are being left at addresses where no one is home.
