What goes where: polystyrene foam
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.
Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Mount Nathan can send a whole truck to landfill, and Gold Coast City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Gold Coast 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 Mount Nathan, 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, Gold Coast City included.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Know your fortnight. Mount Nathan alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on Monday morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Gold Coast City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
