Waste Reminder Take Your Bins Out The Night Before

Moreton Bay residents are being reminded that garbage bins need to be placed out for collection before 6:00 AM on collection day.

“Resident in a few suburbs have recently reported their bins being missed, which may be because drivers have come through at a different time of day,” Mayor Flannery said.

sausage sizzles and the likes but I’ve quietened down a bit now,” Geoff says of his once busy life.

“I just take my time now and if I don’t feel up to doing something, it becomes a rest day. I’ve still got a few years left in me yet.”

Down in Ruth McDonald Park in Rossini Street Burpengary, you’ll find the park bench honouring Geoff for his commitment to the community. The dedication took place back in September. Geoff worked alongside Ruth for many years, running the hall committee between them, undertaking bookings for the council and building quite a good rapport.

To Geoff, the placement of the bench in the park named after Ruth is quite an honour and he is proud to be associated with it.

“I was quite surprised at first, because I believe there’s still a lot of other people out in the community that are worthy of honours and distinctions for all of their achievements,” Geoff says of the park bench dedication. “But I am extremely proud of it and I appreciate those who have taken the time to make this happen.”

“Our bin collection contractor Cleanaway needs to collect 45,000 bins each day so the exact collection during the day can change for a range of reasons.

“That could be staff rostering, vehicle maintenance, road works or closures or even bad weather. The easiest thing to do is take your bins out the night before your collection day.”

A service is not actually considered ‘missed’ until after 6:00pm on your collection day.
