Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Griffin?
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.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Griffin can send a whole truck to landfill, and Moreton Bay can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Moreton Bay 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 Griffin, 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. These are two different things and both matter.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Summer bins need managing. A Griffin red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
