A delayed week often means a fuller bin
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
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 Cashmere can send a whole truck to landfill, and Moreton Bay can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Moreton Bay's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Containers for Change refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in QLD, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Cashmere the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Moreton Bay's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
