Christmas and New Year cause the longest delays
The period between Christmas and New Year is the most disruptive for collections. Many councils run reduced schedules over the summer break, with some pickups delayed by several days. The official council website is the most reliable source during this stretch.
Tip: Set a reminder for the week before Christmas to check your council's holiday schedule. The window for putting out general waste before the break fills up fast.
Frequently asked questions
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 Morayfield can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Moreton Bay 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 Morayfield, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Moreton Bay included.

Quick tips for bin night
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Summer bins need managing. A Morayfield red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Morayfield means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
