Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Gold Coast City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Monday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
Why was my bin in Pacific Pines not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Gold Coast City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Gold Coast City included.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Pacific Pines the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Pacific Pines means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Sunday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Gold Coast City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
