E-Waste
Metals
Mattresses
Chemicals Or Other Hazardous Materials
Other Flood Waste
Waste that can go into household waste bins such as food waste, cannot be placed on kerbsides
? Flood waste collection will be staged. Crews are using excavators and bobcats to load trucks and trailers to remove flood affected waste.
? Items such as mattresses, chemicals and other hazardous materials will be collected by crews in different trucks at a later date as this waste is taken to an alternate waste facility.
It is important to note that asbestos and commercial building materials are not considered as eligible flood waste for collection through this service.
