The council's city standards spokeswoman Kim Marx said that savings from the one-year pause of about $6 million over the past year had allowed the council to offer financial support to community organisations and small businesses. Labor councillors criticised the LNP administration's suspension of its kerbside collection, saying money could have been saved from the council's advertising budget instead. The year-long pause saw a large spike in the number of fines handed out by the council for illegal dumping. "We will be resuming the collection where we left off, so residents of Algester, Calamvale and Parkinson will be first, with other [suburbs] receiving their annual collection on a rolling basis every week, except during school holidays," Cr Marx said. The council expects to collect about 13,000 tonnes of hard waste across Brisbane's suburbs. While the table below shows scheduled collections over the next montn, the full list of suburbs and their scheduled pick-up weeks can be found on the council's website. "Your annual kerbside collection provides an easy way to get rid of items like furniture and white goods, but please don't put things like bricks, concrete, gas bottles or car part or tyres out for collection," Cr Marx said. Hard waste collection trucks will pick up heavy items such as bathtubs, bicycles and sporting equipment, carpet, rugs and wood under 1.5 metres long. Electronic waste  such as television and computers, fridges, stoves, small household appliances such as toasters  and other furniture will also be collected. However, items such as dirt, car parts, batteries, hazardous waste, glass, mirrors and gas bottles will not be accepted. Such items can, generally, be taken to one of Brisbane City Council's four resource recovery centres at Nudgee Beach, Willawong, Ferny Grove and Chandler.
