Food waste disposal
Bulk food waste disposal sites are now open to the community at several locations on the mainland to assist residents with their clean-up efforts after Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
These sites have been activated to help households, including those who have been impacted by power outages, dispose of event-related food waste and highly odorous materials such as nappies.
No other waste is permitted at these sites.
Bulk waste bins have been set up in the following locations:
- Henry Zeigenfusz Park, car park, 190 Fitzroy Street, Cleveland
- Redland Track Park, car park, Clarke Street, Cleveland
- Judy Holt Recreation Reserve / Park, access via 555 Old Cleveland Road East (follow signs to Judy Holt Park Recreation Reserve then first car park on left after the Birkdale Recycling and Waste Centre entrance)
- John Fredericks Park, 126 Old Cleveland Road, Capalaba (Capalaba Skatepark).
- Alexandra Hills Community Hall, 131 – 155 Finucane Road, Alexandra Hills
- Redlands Memorial Hall, 46 Smith Street Cleveland
- Thorneside Community Hall, Mooroondu Road, Thorneside

- Wellington Point Community Hall, Wood Lane, off Birkdale Road, Wellington Point
All sites will remain open during daylight hours until further notice. Additional sites will be announced for other areas of the city in coming days.
Council reminds residents to take care, remain alert and watch for hazards such as fallen trees and floodwaters if they are driving to bulk disposal sites.
Please follow Queensland Health guidelines for when to dispose of food waste: Food safety after a disaster | Queensland Health.
Green waste
Residents wishing to dispose of green waste generated during Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred that is directly impacting their residence can do so at the following site, open 6am-8pm daily until further notice.
- 17-25 Giles Road, Redland Bay.
Recycling and Waste Centres
Mainland Recycling and Waste Centres will re-open tomorrow from 7am and stay open later until 5.15pm with a priority for food waste and other odorous waste.
Island Recycling and Waste Centres reopened today, Monday 10 March. Please ensure all waste is double bagged. Refer to the Council website for opening hours: Recycling and waste centres | Redland City Council (redland.qld.gov.au/waste).
Kerbside collection
Kerbside collection resumed on Monday 10 March, including collections on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) and Coochiemudlo Island, and will continue to operate as per Council’s usual schedule.
Crews were unable to undertake collections on Thursday and Friday last week due to safety issues.
Council acknowledges the inconvenience this has caused some residents and has implemented a range of actions to assist the whole community with the post-cyclone clean-up.
