Independent, local, open
A clearer view of Logan’s two-week clean-up schedule.
Logan publishes its kerbside clean-up timetable as open data. This project turns that timetable into searchable suburb pages and a map without asking residents for an address.
Why it exists
The official facts, arranged around one practical question.
Logan City Council’s clean-up service moves across the city in scheduled periods of roughly two weeks. The official information is public and authoritative, but a resident often wants a faster answer: when does my suburb start, how long does the period run, and what should I do before the trucks arrive?
Logan Kerbside Clean-up Map is an independent open-source presentation of that public information. It is not operated by, endorsed by or affiliated with Logan City Council. It does not determine whether a particular property is eligible, replace the flyer delivered by Council, or override a service update.
Methodology
Two official sources, one small static build
- Read Council’s machine-readable schedule.A weekly job downloads Logan City Council’s public ArcGIS CSV, including each suburb, collection start, collection end and special coverage detail.
- Match official locality boundaries.The job fetches Queensland Government locality polygons for Logan City and joins them to Council’s schedule by locality name.
- Validate every scheduled area.Dates are normalised, completed periods are removed and the shared schema checks that every schedule entry has matching geometry with the same timing and coverage note.
- Pre-render every useful page.The home schedule, guide, methodology, collection periods and suburb routes are written as static HTML. Canonicals, social metadata, structured data and the sitemap are verified before deployment. This build was refreshed 4 Aug 2026.
Schedule source
Logan City Council open data
The timing records come from Council’s Logan City Council Kerbside Cleanup Schedule item on ArcGIS Online. Council identifies the CSV as public open data and licenses it under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia.
Boundary source
Queensland locality polygons
Map shapes come from the Queensland Government’s Locality boundaries dataset. They show official locality extents, not individual property eligibility or Council’s exact truck route.
An important map limit
Rochedale South is split by Underwood Road.
Council schedules the northern and southern parts of Rochedale South separately. The Queensland locality dataset supplies one whole-suburb polygon, not the operational split. The two search results and pages preserve Council’s north-or-south wording, while the map displays the full locality boundary with a visible coverage note. Residents near Underwood Road should use Council’s schedule and delivered flyer as the final authority.
More generally, the map answers at suburb scale. Eligibility is limited to residential properties with a Council-provided waste collection service; commercial properties, schools and vacant land are excluded even when they sit inside a highlighted locality.
Corrections and contributions
Keep the evidence traceable.
If a source changes, a suburb is missing or the interface gives a misleading impression, report it with an official link or a reproducible example. The source adapter, generated schema and deployment workflow are public so corrections can be reviewed rather than hidden behind an opaque service.
