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 Nundah can send a whole truck to landfill, and Brisbane City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

How often is recycling collected in Nundah?

Brisbane City collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Brisbane City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Nundah can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Nundah 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.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
