Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Ashgrove not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Brisbane City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Brisbane City included.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Ashgrove can send a whole truck to landfill, and Brisbane City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Ashgrove the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Brisbane City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
