Local residents wanting to dispose of flood waste must bring proof of property address through either a rates notice or other identification to one of the area’s waste depots.
“With the clean-up efforts beginning right across the city, council is offering to accept the disposal of flood damaged goods at no charge to help assist these efforts,” said Mayor Joanna Gash.
The EPA has advised council the state government waste levy will also be waived on the flood waste.
The free tipping offer for the disposal of flood damaged goods will be reviewed next Wednesday, September 2.
Council will be opening the depots at Berry, Sussex Inlet and Lake Conjola for the whole of next week to assist in the clean-up.
The Waste Depots located at West Nowra, Huskisson and Ulladulla will also be open seven days as per normal.
Extra staff are also going to be put in place at the depots.
