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

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 Banora Point can send a whole truck to landfill, and Tweed Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

How often is recycling collected in Banora Point?

Tweed Shire 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.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Tweed Shire 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 Banora Point, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Banora Point 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.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Tweed Shire collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Know your fortnight. Banora Point alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
