Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When South Burnett shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

What happens if I miss bin night in Murgon?

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

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

South Burnett 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 Murgon, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

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.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Murgon bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push South Burnett collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
