A delayed week often means a fuller bin
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
Frequently asked questions
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.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Moreton Bay's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Moreton Bay asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Laceys Creek can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
