Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Molendinar?
Gold Coast City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical Molendinar collection day is Friday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
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.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Gold Coast City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Gold Coast City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Gold Coast City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Molendinar households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
