Did you know?
It takes a plastic bottle centuries to break down in landfill.
The same bottle, recycled, can become new packaging, clothing fibre or carpet within months. Rigid plastic bottles are one of the easiest wins in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Containers for Change refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in QLD, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.
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 Pimpama can send a whole truck to landfill, and Gold Coast City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Gold Coast City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Pimpama the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
- Know your fortnight. Pimpama alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on Thursday morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
