Did you know?
Compost made from kerbside organics is used on farms, parks and roadsides.
When your green bin material is processed, it becomes a soil conditioner that returns nutrients to the ground and reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Logan 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 Browns Plains, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
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 Browns Plains can send a whole truck to landfill, and Logan City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
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 Logan City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Browns Plains blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Browns Plains households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- 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.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Browns Plains bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
