The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.
Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.

FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Aitkenvale's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across QLD are progressively adding organics services.
