Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays
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.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Brisbane City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
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.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Brisbane 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 Aspley, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Aspley the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Summer bins need managing. A Aspley red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
