There have been many questions regarding the disposal of sandbags after ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. 

Deputy Mayor of Brisbane, Fiona Cunningham, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "We were encouraging people to actually hold on to those plastic bags."

"You can get rid of the sand that's in them, but keep your actual sandbags inside, not in sunlight, and they'll be fine to use again in the future."

"That way we don't have them in our landfill, but we can use them again," the Deputy Mayor continued.
