Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin in Gympie 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.

How often is recycling collected in Gympie?

What happens if I miss bin night in Gympie?

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Gympie bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • 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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Gympie Regional tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
