Trees on Public Land

Storm Damage Clean-up Update

Council thanks residents who assisted in the recent storms by cleaning up tree debris from public land and roadways and your patience while we work our way through the backlog of collection requests is appreciated.

Hills Shire Council teams have been collecting storm debris, and clean-up of the suburb of Baulkham Hills, west of Windsor Road, is nearing completion.

Council contractors will be collecting vegetation from nature strips in the coming weeks, focussing on urban collections and highly populated areas.

RMS contractors are clearing debris from Old Northern Road and Wisemans Ferry Road, which are State Government managed roads.

Residents are requested to assist Council wherever possible, either by placing small amounts of storm debris in their green waste bins for collection, or by cutting and bundling green waste (1.5m lengths and branches must be less than 10cm in diameter) and booking a kerbside clean-up.
