Greater Shepparton City Council will commence kerbside sandbag collection from Friday, December 2.

Council is collecting sandbags that have been wet or contaminated by floodwaters from around town.

Affected sandbags need to be placed on the kerbside, ready for collection.

If any sandbags are inside property boundaries they will not be collected.

It is recommended that sandbags that have not been wet or flood-damaged and are still soft be stored for future use.

Council continues to call for volunteers to support residents in the clean-up both of flood-damaged household items and sandbags.

Shepparton residents are encouraged to reach out to friends, family and neighbours, if they require assistance with cleaning up.

Contact council either on 5832 9700 or via floodrecovery@shepparton.vic.gov.au for more information.
