The Labor Party is calling for kerbside collections to be reinstated after almost 1300 cases of illegal rubbish dumping in Brisbane over the last year.
The most frequent cases of illegal dumping were at Inala (74), Doolandella (36), Forest Lake (35) and Calamvale (29).
Kerbside collections were cancelled by the Brisbane City Council in April 2020 to reduce the risk for staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Forest Lake ward councillor Charles Strunk says many Brisbane residents relied on the initiative.
“Cancelling kerbside collection has been a major, major thing for us," said Mr Strunk.
