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
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Brisbane City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Brisbane City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Brisbane City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
