Frequently asked questions
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Dakabin's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Dakabin?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Moreton Bay runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in QLD.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Dakabin means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Dakabin bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Moreton Bay's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
