Recycling container gets moved
SOMERSET Regional Council has approved a request from Queensland Container Recycling to move its Kilcoy Containers for Change pop-up location.
From the first week of October 2025, the Containers for Change pop-up service will move from the Kilcoy Visitor Information Centre carpark to Silky Oak Park on Seib Street, Kilcoy.
Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt said it was no longer suitable to host the service at the Kilcoy Visitor Information Centre.
“The carpark is well used as the centre has become more popular with visitors to Somerset and more events being held at the centre,” Cr Wendt said.
“The Containers for Change set up takes a large section of the carpark, reducing the number of available parks for both visitors to the centre and for residents delivering their containers.
“Moving forward, the service will be offered at Silky Oak Park, which is a larger open area with less vehicles competing for space.”
