Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Burpengary East 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.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Moreton Bay 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.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Moreton Bay collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Burpengary East households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
