Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.

Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin in Kenmore 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. Brisbane City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Kenmore's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Kenmore's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across QLD are progressively adding organics services.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Kenmore the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Kenmore bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
