Temporary waste bins for storm-affected suburbs

Link copied

Council is providing temporary waste bins in suburbs where residents have experienced prolonged power outages since Sunday's severe weather event.

29 Oct 2025 • 03:04PM

Residents are encouraged to use the temporary waste bins only if their household general waste (red lid) bin is full. 

The temporary waste bins will accept any household waste from impacted properties.  

Temporary waste bins are for Brisbane residents only and for household quantities of waste.

Businesses with commercial waste services should continue to work with their existing waste collection provider to dispose of spoiled waste.

A list of temporary waste bin locations can be found on Council’s website.
