Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in King Scrub?
General waste catches up next week, but Moreton Bay collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Moreton Bay may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps King Scrub's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Containers for Change refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in QLD, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Moreton Bay's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Moreton Bay tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
