Kerbside collection has been underway for the past few weeks, but the Brisbane City Council has confirmed it will be suspended until further notice. 

Civic Cabinet Chair of City Standards, Councillor Sarah Hutton, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "There are a number of suburbs that it is suspended for, so that's Hawthorne, Hemet, Lota, Wynnum, and Lytton, so that's for this week."

"And also next week Belmont, Chandler, Gumdale, Manly, Ransom, and Wynnum West."

"If you are in those suburbs and you do have items out on the curb, if you can actually bring them in, it would be enormously helpful."

"But with this tropical cyclone off the coast, we really need to make sure that safety is the priority," Councillor Hutton continued.
