NIMBIN TRANSFER STATION TO RE-OPEN TUESDAY, 8 MARCH

The Nimbin Transfer Station will re-open Tuesday to Saturday 8am to 3pm until further notice to ensure the community can dispose of perishable and putrescible items.

Please DO NOT bring non-putrescible/ non-perishable flood wastes (eg. furniture, fridges, mattresses etc) until further notice.

For the health of the community and to reduce vermin, we must prioritise disposing of perishable and putrescible (nappies etc) items first.

Servicing the Transfer Station will be heavily restricted by collections vehicle travel times between Nimbin and Lismore. High volumes of traffic on roads in and around Lismore are slowing trucks down.

We ask that deceased animals are buried on property wherever possible.

Flood waste collections such as those which are already underway in Lismore are being scheduled for Lismore’s villages and rural areas, and details will be provided as soon as available from Public Works who are in charge of this massive effort.

Your patience and understanding while the recovery effort continues is appreciated
