Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays

The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.

Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.

Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Crestmead's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Logan City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Logan City offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Crestmead, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Crestmead the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
