Visits to TRC Waste Management Facilities during 2019 and 2020 to date (Graph: TRC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 15, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toowoomba Regional Council is urging the community to limit trips and passengers to help avoid delays when visiting the tip.<\/p>\n

TRC General Manager of Water and Waste Mr Damian Platts said there had been a significant growth in visits to waste management facilities since mid-March when the Federal and State Government\u2019s directed the community to “stay at home”.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil has recorded an increase of around 65 per cent when compared to the trend of long-term weekly average visits,\u201d Mr Platts said.<\/p>\n

In the week leading up to Easter, there had been 9754 visits, compared with 5286 during the same period last year.<\/p>\n

“The pre-Easter figures are 1441 higher than last year\u2019s peak of 8313 visits during the week between Christmas and New Year\u2019s Eve 2019,” Mr Platts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis significant increase in visits, the requirement for social distancing, as well as new procedures limiting the number of customers onsite means the community will experience delays when visiting our waste management facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community can avoid delays by limiting their visits, making use of Council\u2019s kerbside collection service for general waste, recycling and green waste and also ensure they are carrying a full load, rather than making multiple visits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
