Over 1 billion coffee cups are used in Australia each year, and very few are recyclable.

The plastic lining makes standard takeaway cups non-recyclable in kerbside bins. Compostable alternatives are growing, but need commercial composting facilities to process properly.

Frequently asked questions

Does Moorooka have a garden organics bin?

Brisbane City does not include a standard garden organics bin in Moorooka's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Brisbane 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 Moorooka, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What happens if I miss bin night in Moorooka?

General waste catches up next week, but Brisbane City collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Brisbane City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Know your fortnight. Moorooka alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Moorooka households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
