What goes where: polystyrene foam
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.
Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Hollywell have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Hollywell that mostly means Friday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Gold Coast City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in QLD.

Quick tips for bin night
- Check your bin before bin night. Friday evening 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.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Friday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Hollywell means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Friday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
