Kerbside collection

The Keep Maranoa Beautiful campaign is gearing up for its annual kerbside collection event, providing residents with the opportunity to dispose of large household items, green waste, and metal waste.

This initiative not only aids in decluttering homes but also promotes a cleaner and greener environment within the community.

This free kerbside collection service will begin on Monday, 18 March 2024.

To facilitate a smooth collection process, residents are kindly asked to hold off placing items on the kerb until Friday 15 March.

It is essential to place items out on the footpath by 7pm the day before the scheduled collection in their respective areas to ensure efficient removal.
