Frequently asked questions

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Harristown?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Toowoomba Regional runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

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

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Toowoomba Regional included.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Harristown 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.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Harristown means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Know your fortnight. Harristown alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
