Illegal rubbish dumping occurring at former flood waste collection sites

All previous flood waste collection points and skip bins are closed and residents now need to take their waste directly to a Resource Recovery Centre. Dumping of waste is a health and safety issue and also unsightly.

Any offloading of materials to the Mooroopna Scout Hall site or other sites is now considered illegal dumping and fines will be issued.

Residents who still have flood damaged household items to dispose of are able to do so free of charge up until 2 March 2023. Residents will need to complete an online registration form and be prepared to show ID proof at the Resource Recovery Centre to have fees waived.

Those unable to fill out the online form are able to contact council’s Customer Service Centre who will fill out the form on their behalf.

Please note the free disposal of waste applies only to flood damaged household items and not to general waste disposal. If your items are not from a flood impacted property you will need to pay the appropriate fee for disposal.

The online form can be found at https://shepp.city/register-flood-waste or please contact the Customer Service Centre on 5832 9700 for assistance.
