Bardon is gearing up for the suburb’s annual kerbside collection on the 7th of February 2022 and here are some quick reminders and tips for items that may or may not make it to the kerb on that day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if some of the items cannot be collected? Remember, Brisbane City Council will not collect unacceptable items placed on the kerb and if they are not removed within seven days of the notified collection period, illegal dumping fines may apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid being charged for illegal dumping and to keep those unwanted items from going to landfill, consider taking them to recycling centres.

BCC has resource recovery centres where the items are taken for recycling. For instance, waste tyres can be used for manufacturing new rubber products such as soft fall surfaces, artificial turf and conveyor belts.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These centres accept almost any item you can\u2019t put on the kerb for collection, including garden waste, batteries, paint and solvents, gas bottles, glass containers, and other metals.

Did you know that most of these centres are already a Paintback site? This means they are part of Paintback, an industry-led initiative designed to divert unwanted paint and packaging from ending up in landfill and vital waterways.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paintback finds new ways to repurpose unwanted paint materials and help develop a circular economy. Paintback accepts up to 100 litres per visit stowed in containers of up to 20 litres.

Garden waste, like other wastes, can have many more uses. If you\u2019re not composting at home, you can bring them to recycling centres where they are recycled as a nutrient-rich soil conditioner for land reclamation sites and agriculture areas. However, make sure not to include garden wastes that have contaminants, such as grass cuttings with herbicides.

Those with recyclable donations can go directly to Brisbane\u2019s resource and sort your items there. In Bardon, the nearest recycling centre is Ferny Grove Resource Recovery Centre, which is a 16-minute drive via Waterworks Rd. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can drop off your items for free when you have the waste voucher, which is issued by Council annually to Brisbane households. For more information on how to use the centres, including waste vouchers, fees and charges, visit BCC\u2019s website<\/a>.
