Did you know?

Contamination rates in Australian recycling bins average around 15%.

When non-recyclables end up in the yellow bin, they can divert entire loads to landfill. The most common contaminants are soft plastics, food waste, and soiled packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Gladstone Regional included.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Gladstone 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.

What happens if I miss bin night in Calliope?

General waste catches up next week, but Gladstone Regional collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Gladstone Regional may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Calliope the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Gladstone Regional tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
