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
Are the bins different if I rent in Meadowbrook?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Logan City 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 get a larger or extra bin?
Logan City offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Meadowbrook, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Logan City'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 Logan City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
