Speaking to ABC Radio Brisbane ahead of the 2021-22 budget delivery on Wednesday,Cr Schrinner said the suburb-by-suburb service would return within weeks.
“Kerbside collection is coming back,” he said. “We’re kicking off in July.”
The scheme will resume in the suburbs it was first stopped in as the pandemic started to bite last April,before the elongated pause was announced in the June budget.
Cr Schrinner said he did not regret the decision as the $6 million saved had allowed the council to deliver elements of its pandemic assistance to businesses and residents.
“We’ve obviously been able to do this because economic conditions are improving,” he said.
Cr Schrinner also said three of the nine old timber ferriesretired from service last year due to safety concerns would be restored and slowly returned to the Brisbane River.
The Norman Park Ferry service would not be returning.
