A Message from Adrian

A huge focus on delivering our clean and green agenda has seen Brisbane recently recognised nationally as Australia’s greenest city.

I’m proud of this achievement, but not surprised, given our significant investment in Brisbane’s network of more than 2100 parks, bushland reserves and our tree-lined suburban streets.

Residents also play a huge part ensuring Brisbane remains Australia’s cleanest and greenest city with more than one million of our free waste vouchers used in the past 12 months.

Last year we started providing them to renters so everyone can take advantage of our free tip trips and all residents should have received their latest waste vouchers recently in the mail.

If you’re planning a clean-up at home over the next few weeks, a good tip to remember is that last year’s vouchers can still be used up until August 31.

Over the last three weekends of September, our four resource recovery centres will be offering free green waste recycling days for those garden spring cleans.

The centres also offer free household hazardous waste drop off days throughout the year for waste that can’t go in our bins, like pool and cleaning chemicals, paint and engine oil.

And finally, you can now also get a bigger yellow-top recycling bin or one of our green bins for no upfront cost.

Thanks for your efforts in helping to ensure Brisbane is Australia’s cleanest and greenest city.
