Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Redland City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Alexandra Hills can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in QLD.

What happens if I miss bin night in Alexandra Hills?

General waste catches up next week, but Redland City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Redland City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Alexandra Hills bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Alexandra Hills means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Alexandra Hills bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
