Frequently asked questions
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Kurwongbah's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Moreton Bay runs use an automated arm, and bins in Kurwongbah blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Why was my bin in Kurwongbah 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. Moreton Bay has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Kurwongbah the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Moreton Bay's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
