Council storm recovery efforts underway
Sutherland Shire Council has launched storm recovery efforts across the region, following widespread damage caused by a significant storm cell on Monday evening.
All available Council and contract resources have been deployed to deliver additional green waste, wood chipping and street sweeping services to assist some of the hardest hit suburbs.
“From initial SES reports, we know that considerable damage was sustained in Miranda, Caringbah and Caringbah South. To assist these heavily impacted areas, Council is providing both kerbside green waste collection as well as additional green waste bin collection service.” Sutherland Shire Mayor, Councillor Carmelo Pesce said.
“We ask residents in these three areas to place storm related green waste onto the nature strip as early as possible. The green waste collection has commenced and will continue until Friday 24 January. “
“We are also providing the extra green waste bin collection to these three areas on Saturday 25 January. Residents are advised to place their green waste bin only out on Friday evening for collection. Regular fortnightly green waste bin collections will go ahead as normal.”
“Those in other suburbs are also affected and will also have storm related green waste material. Due to the widespread nature of the storm, we ask residents in other suburbs who are affected contact Council on 9710
