What goes where: polystyrene foam
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.
Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.
Frequently asked questions
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Moreton Bay 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.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Moreton Bay runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
What happens if I miss bin night in Dayboro?
General waste catches up next week, but Moreton Bay collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Moreton Bay may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Dayboro means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
