Due to ongoing extreme weather and flooding, bin collection services across the Dungog region are being adjusted. JR Richards & Sons, in partnership with Council, is working to ensure waste is collected where access allows. Please read below for the latest updates by area:
Dungog Township
Recycling and general waste collections are occurring today. However, some streets and areas may be missed due to flood-related access issues. JR Richards will provide further updates and alternate collection arrangements for affected residents once flood levels subside and road conditions improve.
Paterson, Vacy & Surrounds
Collections are planned for this weekend, pending access. Residents in unaffected areas should place bins out on Friday evening for a potential Saturday morning pick-up.
Clarence Town & Surrounds
Scheduled Thursday collections are currently delayed. Updates will be provided once access is confirmed and it is safe for trucks to enter the area.
Fosterton Area
Friday collections in Fosterton are also being monitored. A confirmed collection day will be advised once access conditions are reviewed by JR Richards.
Additional Support
To assist with the backlog, additional trucks and drivers from Singleton and Muswellbrook have been brought in to support Dungog collections.
