Casino’s Nammoona Waste and Resource Recovery Centre and the Evans Head Transfer Station reopens tomorrow, Wednesday, March 12, with free waste drop-off available for Richmond Valley residents impacted by ex-tropical cyclone Alfred.
The eligible waste for free drop-off includes green waste from storm damage and building waste from storm damage, or flood-affected properties (excluding asbestos and hazardous materials).
This service is strictly for cyclone-related waste.
General household waste and non-storm-related waste are not eligible.
Photographic evidence of cyclone-related waste will be collected on entry to ensure the council can recoup its costs under the State Government’s natural disaster arrangements.
Residents must provide their address to staff at the weighbridge to access the free drop-off.
The Rappville Transfer Station will remain closed until further notice.
Council’s general manager Vaughan Macdonald said the council was working with contractors across the Richmond Valley to remove fallen trees and branches from roads and parklands where it was safe to do so.
He said the cleanup of public areas was already underway and would continue throughout the coming weeks.
Kerbside collection services are back to normal for Casino and Evans Head, with services resuming this Thursday for Woodburn, Broadwater and Rileys Hill. Coraki’s service will return when it is safe to do so.
Residents are reminded to place their bins out the night before their usual collection day.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the resumption of services, call the council on 6660 0300, or visit the council’s website for a downloadable service calendar here.
