For flood affected residents, the service will resume as soon as trucks can access properties.
Some delays in garbage collection are being experienced due to road closures. Should this occur residents are asked to leave their bins on the kerb until they can be collected.
Individual collections for severely flood effected properties may be organised with Council on a case by case basis.
Forbes Shire Council’s annual Bulk Waste Clean-Up will commence from this Monday, October 3.
Another pick-up has been scheduled for the week beginning Monday, October 24.
This will give residents the opportunity to dispose of any items damaged during the flood.
All items are to be placed neatly next to the edge of the kerb and not blocking the footpath at your normal weekly collection point.
For more information or if you have any questions about what you can put out for collection, please call the Environmental Services and Planning Department on 02 6850 2344.
