What goes where: takeaway coffee cups

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.

Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.

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 Gympie Regional runs use an automated arm, and bins in Goomeri blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Why was my bin in Goomeri 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. Gympie Regional has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

What happens if I miss bin night in Goomeri?

General waste catches up next week, but Gympie Regional collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Gympie Regional may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Gympie Regional 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 Goomeri bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
