Dump for free on long weekend
Date published: 19 September 2016
Residents will have three days of free access to Townsville’s waste facilities during this year’s free dumping long weekend ahead of the cyclone season.
Townsville Water and Waste Committee today endorsed a staff report recommending the event be held from Saturday, October 1 to Monday October 3.
Residents will once again have unlimited free dumping access to dispose of domestic and green waste at the Jensen, Hervey Range, Stuart, Toomulla and Bluewater facilities as well as Magnetic Island.
Committee chairman Cr Paul Jacob said the three days of free dumping was a prime opportunity to clean up the yard ahead of the cyclone season, which officially commences on November 1.
“Gates at the landfills will be open to give residents the opportunity to clean up around their yards and homes ahead of the cyclone season,” Cr Jacob said.
“Residents can make as many trips to the tip as they need.”
