Clean-up service for pensioners
PENSIONERS can now register for the Tablelands Regional Council’s Pre-Cyclone Clean-Up.

The service is for those who receive an age or disability pension and are in a kerbside collection area.
As part of the service, TRC will remove green waste, iron and general yard debris.
White goods, furniture, household rubbish, car bodies and tyres are not eligible for collection.
Pensioners who wish to take up the offer must register at https://www.trc.qld.gov.au/services-and-facilities/waste-recycling/cyclone-cleanup/ or call on 1300 362 242 by 5pm on 23 October.
Collections will begin in early November.
