Hours extended at Clifton waste facility to compensate for Greenmount closure
The opening hours of the Clifton Waste Management Facility have been expanded to accommodate additional use by residents who would normally make use of the Greenmount site, which is currently closed for a major upgrade.
Toowoomba Regional Council’s Water and Waste Committee portfolio leader Cr Nancy Sommerfield said the temporarily extended hours are four hours each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
“This means that the Clifton facility will be open every day as a temporary measure due to the Greenmount facility currently being closed,” Cr Sommerfield said.
“Council is pleased to offer residents access to temporary extended opening hours at the Clifton facility to compensate for the temporary closure of the Greenmount Waste Management Facility.
“Council is upgrading the Greenmount site to a Tier 2
waste management facility, which will be similar in
principle to the Kleinton Waste Management Facility (to the north of Toowoomba), offering additional recycling opportunities to reduce the volume of waste going to
landfill.”
Ahead of the festive period, Cr Sommerfield had predicted that the extended opening hours at Clifton would be particularly helpful over the Christmas-New Year holiday break when many people use the time to clean up yards and properties.
“Council appreciates the cooperation of our contractor Ability Enterprises, whose staff will be rostered for the extra opening hours,” she said.
The Clifton Waste Management Facility opening times, including temporary hours each Tuesday and Thursday
are:
Monday: 1pm to 5pm
Tuesday: 1pm to 5pm
Wednesday: 8am to noon
Thursday: 1pm to 5pm
Friday: 1pm to 5pm
Saturday: 10am to 3pm
Sunday: 10am to 3pm.
The hours at the Clifton facility will revert to normal hours when the Greenmount facility re-opens.
