Did you know?
Around 130 kilograms of food waste is thrown out per person in Australia each year.
Most of it could be diverted through a FOGO service or home composting. Food in landfill breaks down without oxygen and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Frequently asked questions
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Boonah's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Scenic Rim Regional 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.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Scenic Rim Regional runs use an automated arm, and bins in Boonah blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Scenic Rim Regional collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
