Frequently asked questions
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.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Indooroopilly's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
How often is recycling collected in Indooroopilly?
Brisbane City collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Indooroopilly bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- 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.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Indooroopilly the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
