Sandbags will disintergrate with water and weather exposure and are not recommended for use for after a 5 day period.
Due to the large number of sandbags distributed, the council is asking residents and businesses to assist with the disposal by scattering sand on lawns, gardens and external areas where it will not do damage.
Empty bags and filled sandbags that are NOT able to be emptied will be collected as part of kerbside collections.
