Media Release - Get Ready Hinchinbrook Storm Clean-up

As the disaster season is fast approaching, Council is urging residents to prepare for future weather events by disposing of damaged or unused play equipment, outdoor furniture, barbeques, old sheets of corrugated iron and branches from around your home.

These items can become airborne in a storm or cyclone with potential to cause damage to houses or serious injury to people.

Council reminds residents that each household within Hinchinbrook Shire is entitled to four virtual waste disposal vouchers per financial year, which allows them to dispose of up to four loads of domestic or green waste free of charge.

In addition, all metal items can be disposed of free of charge anytime at the Warrens Hill Landfill Resource and Recovery Centre.
