Logan residents have disposed of 200 tonnes of general storm-related waste across the city’s five tips in just two weeks.
This waste, which is heavier than the weight of an average blue whale, was received from more than 1300 customers.
Residents who are unable to transport waste to their local tip have been encouraged to “neatly stack it on the kerb”.
The kerbside collection program, introduced by Logan City Council on Monday (8 January), is continuing throughout south-west Logan and can be tracked using a newly released schedule.
It is just one of council’s street clean-up efforts that have reportedly “switched into a higher gear”.
“More than 700 clearing and maintenance jobs are being progressed by council’s road recovery crews, with multiple chainsaw teams continuing to cut large fallen trees into manageable pieces for removal,” a council statement said.
Mayor Darren Power praised the efforts of council recovery crews and the resilience of storm impacted residents.
“I am immensely grateful to our hard-working teams for their effort day in, and day out to get our city’s families back on their feet,” Cr Power said.
“We are also glad to be working hand in hand with many dedicated local volunteers and contractors in this mammoth recovery effort.”
