Over 1 billion coffee cups are used in Australia each year, and very few are recyclable.
The plastic lining makes standard takeaway cups non-recyclable in kerbside bins. Compostable alternatives are growing, but need commercial composting facilities to process properly.
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 Townsville City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Cranbrook blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Townsville City does not include a standard garden organics bin in Cranbrook's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Townsville City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
