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
Why does my neighbour in Ashmore have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Ashmore that mostly means Friday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Gold Coast City offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Ashmore, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
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 Ashmore can send a whole truck to landfill, and Gold Coast City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Ashmore bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Check your bin before bin night. Friday evening is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Ashmore that night is Friday. These are two different things and both matter.
