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

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Brisbane City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Coorparoo 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 Brisbane City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
