Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Kalbar?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Scenic Rim Regional supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

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, Scenic Rim Regional included.

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

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Scenic Rim 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Kalbar bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Scenic Rim Regional's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
