Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Canungra 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. Scenic Rim Regional has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Does Canungra have a garden organics bin?
Scenic Rim Regional does not include a standard garden organics bin in Canungra's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Scenic Rim Regional asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Canungra can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Canungra means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Canungra bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- 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.
