Like most Councils, Balonne Shire runs one annual hard rubbish (kerbside) collection across the region, to help residents get rid of large items and green waste.
Generally this collection is held around March, with dates subject to change.
To assist our teams in prompt and efficient collection, Council asks all residents to follow these guidelines:
- To keep piles tidy on the kerb, keeping the footpath or roadway clear
- Council will not collect piles larger than 2 cubic metres
- To remove doors from refrigerators and cupboards
- Do not leave sharp or dangerous objects on the footpath
- Items must be able to be easily and safely lifted by two people
- Secure items if severe weather is expected
