Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Moreton Bay asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Bongaree can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Moreton Bay runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
Why was my bin in Bongaree 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. Moreton Bay has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Bongaree bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Know your fortnight. Bongaree 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.
