Severe Weather Event – Food waste disposal

Food disposal

We have placed skip bins for food waste disposal in the most severely impacted areas and they are located at:

  • Ormeau Shearers Rugby League Club, Orange Mountain Road, Ormeau
  • Runaway Bay Indoor Sports Centre, Sports Drive, Runaway Bay
  • Firth Park, Somerset Dr, Mudgeeraba

We’ll provide updates as more locations become available.

To dispose of food waste we recommend residents first:

  • Double bag it and place in your general waste bin. If there are problems with odour, leave your bin kerbside for pick-up next collection day.
  • Take it to any of our open waste and recycling centres.

To help with disposal of food, green waste and storm waste four of our locations are open for extended hours from 6am to 6pm:

  • Pimpama Green Organics Drop and Go
  • Stapylton Landfill
  • Molendinar Waste and Recycling Centre
  • Reedy Creek Waste and Recycling Centre

All other locations are open normal operating hours. Helensvale Waste and Recycling Centre (WRC) is open from today.
