Council has now completed the Shire-wide residential clean up of green and hard waste following the impacts of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

We sincerely thank the Tweed community for your patience and understanding.

For 8 weeks from 17 March 2025, Council crews visited every suburb to collect cyclone-related waste from kerbsides. Our crews documented this effort and photos have been taken of all completed streets.

Cleaning up safely

Read about how to stay safe and healthy while cleaning up.

  • Clean-up is complete – no further collections will be made for cyclone-related waste.
  • Regular waste and recycling services have resumed according to your usual schedule.
  • Do not place any new green or hard waste on the kerb. This will be treated as illegal dumping and may be subject to fines.

Illegal dumping reminder

Council has documented the clean-up across all suburbs.

Any additional piles of green or hard waste left on kerbsides will now be investigated as potential instances of illegal dumping.

Let’s all do our part to keep the Shire clean and beautiful.
