2025 Cyclone Alfred
Bin collections cancelled. Tips closed. Free when reopened
No bin collections and tips closed Thursday and Friday. Dump your green and general waste for free during clean up.
5 March 2025, 7am
Over the next few days, cyclonic winds on the Sunshine Coast are expected to be strong enough to blow bins over, causing rubbish to go everywhere and making the bins dangerous if picked up by the wind.
It will also be very unsafe for our drivers to be on the roads in cyclonic conditions.
To keep everyone safe, Sunshine Coast Council cannot collect kerbside bins on Thursday March 6 and Friday March 7.
Residents do not need to report missed bins; we'll pick them up on your next collection day.
Please keep your bins somewhere safe and secured so they don't get blown over.
For the same safety reasons, Council tips will not be open to the public on Thursday and Friday.
On Friday we'll decide if they can reopen on Saturday, depending on the weather predictions and if it's safe to get to the sites.
To support clean-up activities, there will be no collection fees when disposing your green or general waste when the tips reopen.
