Frequently asked questions
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Brisbane City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Coorparoo blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
How often is recycling collected in Coorparoo?
Brisbane City collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
Are the bins different if I rent in Coorparoo?
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Coorparoo bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
