What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Mundingburra?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Townsville City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Townsville 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 Mundingburra, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Containers for Change refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in QLD, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Townsville City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- 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.
