Recycling rule worth knowing
Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
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 Gold Coast City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Currumbin blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Why was my bin in Currumbin 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. Gold Coast City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Gold Coast 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 Currumbin, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Currumbin that night is Wednesday. These are two different things and both matter.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Gold Coast City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Currumbin bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
