Burdekin residents are being urged to roll up their sleeves and clear out the clutter ahead of cyclone season, with Super Waste Sunday returning on 7 December 2025. The annual community clean-up lets households dispose of a wide range of waste for free across all Council facilities, making it easier than ever to tidy up yards and homes.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the event is more than just a chance to dump rubbish.
“Keeping our homes and yards clear of unnecessary waste is a key part of getting ready for cyclone season. Super Waste Sunday makes it easier for our community to tidy up, declutter and responsibly dispose of a variety of items,” she said.
Residents can bring sorted waste such as green waste, recyclables, cardboard, scrap metal, e-waste, EPIRBs, fluoro light bulbs, and batteries. Certain items—including tyres, fridges, freezers, air-conditioners, gas bottles, mattresses, solar panels and fire extinguishers—will have dumping fees waived. Free mulch will also be available for collection.
While the Ayr and Home Hill Transfer Stations will be open from 8:00am to 4:00pm, the Giru Transfer Station operates from 2:00pm to 5:00pm, and Kirknie Landfill is open from 8:00am to 4:00pm. Some items, including car bodies, bricks, concrete, and large loads, must go to Kirknie. Asbestos, unsorted waste, and commercial rubbish will still incur fees.
Residents are encouraged to plan ahead, take advantage of this opportunity, and get their homes storm-ready while keeping the Burdekin community clean and safe.
