Free disposal of Fireweed in the Lockyer Valley

Ideal growing conditions have seen Fireweed run rampant across South East Queensland, and the Lockyer Valley is not immune. That’s why we are offering free disposal of the invasive weed at our Gatton Waste Facility and are asking for your help to control Fireweed on your property. Left untreated, Fireweed poses a threat to livestock and agriculture. We’re doing as much as we can to control the current outbreak, with our resources stretched to capacity due to this year’s natural disasters and winter illnesses. Our Waste crews have been manually pulling out Fireweed at our transfer facilities and are engaging contractors to spray infestations they can’t pick. Our Pest Management Officers are working closely with high-risk property owners dealing with large infestations to reduce the risk of it spreading, and our Parks and Gardens team is spraying our roadsides with herbicides in a bid to reduce this stubborn toxic weed. Council also offers subsidised herbicides for Fireweed and other restricted weeds. Contact us on 1300 005 872 to find out more.
