To help residents prepare for the 2019/20 disaster season, Burdekin Shire Council is opening the Kirknie Road Landfill for a free dump weekend.
The Kirknie Road Landfill free dump weekend will be held on Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December from 8am-5pm. For further information about waste disposal, please visit Council’s website www.burdekin.qld.gov.au or contact Council’s Customer Service Centre on (07) 4783 9800.
Residents are reminded to cover their loads when travelling to drop off any rubbish. Residents are also reminded that green waste, scrap metal, tyres and concrete must be separated prior to disposal, and that hazardous waste such as paints and solvents, chemical waste and contaminated soil cannot be accepted at Council landfill or transfer stations.
There will be no charges this weekend for domestic waste oil, tyres, fire extinguishers, non-degassed white goods and air-conditioners. Commercial waste loads and domestic asbestos disposal will continue to attract standard disposal charges.
