Did you know?

Compost made from kerbside organics is used on farms, parks and roadsides.

When your green bin material is processed, it becomes a soil conditioner that returns nutrients to the ground and reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my neighbour in New Farm have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in New Farm vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. New Farm's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across QLD are progressively adding organics services.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in New Farm?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Brisbane 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Brisbane City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • 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.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
