Frequently asked questions
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Moreton Bay's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
How often is recycling collected in Armstrong Creek?
Moreton Bay collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Moreton Bay runs use an automated arm, and bins in Armstrong Creek blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Armstrong Creek means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Armstrong Creek households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
