Rethink your rubbish
Clearing out after Christmas?
Got lots of cardboard and polystyrene packaging from Christmas presents? Redland residents can recycle a wide range of items for free at Council’s mainland Waste Transfer Stations. Recyclable items include e-waste, cardboard, polystyrene, scrap metal (e.g. old bikes and scooters), whitegoods and gas bottles. For a full list, visit our website.

This is our first Christmas providing free e-waste drop-off. Let’s see how many old TV’s, computers, monitors and other computer equipment we can divert from landfill over the season.
All disposal is free for Redland residents. Remember to have your proof of residency ready at the gate.
Living with mosquitos
It’s breeding season
Take care, cover up and protect yourself from mosquitoes this summer. Follow these simple tips:
- Wear light-coloured, long, loose-fitting clothing and use insect repellent
- Reduce mosquito breeding around your home by emptying water from household items such as pot plant bases, boats, unscreened rainwater tanks, unchlorinated swimming pools, blocked roof gutters, bird baths and old tyres
- Make sure screens are in good condition
Council monitors mosquito activity throughout the Redlands all year round and conducts aerial and ground treatments whenever necessary. Mosquito spraying is safe for you and the environment.
