Frequently asked questions
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.
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 Moreton Bay runs use an automated arm, and bins in Ferny Hills blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
What happens if I miss bin night in Ferny Hills?
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
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Ferny Hills bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- 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.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Ferny Hills households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
