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 Bundamba can send a whole truck to landfill, and Ipswich City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Bundamba?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Ipswich City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

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 Ipswich City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Bundamba 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.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Bundamba households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Ipswich City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
