Australia Day on 26 January and Anzac Day on 25 April are public holidays nationwide. When either lands on a weekday, councils that collect that day often delay the rest of the week by one day.
Tip: If your bin day is mid-week, glance at the council notice the week these dates fall on a weekday.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Brisbane City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
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. Brisbane City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Bracken Ridge can send a whole truck to landfill, and Brisbane City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
