Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Brisbane City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Carindale's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across QLD are progressively adding organics services.
Are the bins different if I rent in Carindale?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Brisbane City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Know your fortnight. Carindale alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Carindale the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
