DISAPPOINTINGLY, flood waste is being dumped at former collection sites in Mooroopna.
Flood waste collection points and skips bins are now closed. Residents must now take any waste that remains from the flood clean-up directly to a Resource Recovery Centre.
Dumping of waste is a health and safety issue and is also unsightly. Any offloading of materials to the Mooroopna Scout Hall site or other sites is now considered illegal dumping and Greater Shepparton City Council say that fines will be issued.
Residents who still have flood damaged household items to dispose of can do so free of charge up until March 2, 2023.
Residents will need to complete an online registration form and be prepared to show ID proof at the Resource Recovery Centre to have fees waived. Those unable to fill out the online form can contact council’s Customer Service Centre on 5832 9700, who will fill out the form on their behalf.
The online form can be found at shepp.city/register-flood-waste
Please note that the free disposal of waste applies only to flood damaged household items and not to general waste disposal. If your items are not from a flood impacted property you will need to pay the appropriate fee for disposal.
