Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Clear Mountain 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.
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.
How often is recycling collected in Clear Mountain?
Moreton Bay collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Clear Mountain households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- 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.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Moreton Bay tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
