The council hasn't emptied our bins for a couple of weeks, obviously busy with flood cleanup. But we now have stinken rubbish oozing down the street, has anyone had a rubbish pick up in the last two weeks (Brisbane City Council).

Yep same, the normal bin two weeks today and the recycling four weeks today. Fingers crossed we both wake to the sound of trucks within the next couple of days.

Yep, I was driving to Coles in the hope hope of getting some vegetables and saw the recycle truck on the way. It collected all bins - recycling, general rubbish and garden waste all in one hit.

Yes, done on Wednesday, just one week missed here (Wgabba) can't complain at that.
No recycling is getting done at the moment so you can put all rubbish both bins, that is for this week at least and maybe longer.
