Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

Does Proston have a garden organics bin?

South Burnett does not include a standard garden organics bin in Proston's kerbside lineup. Green waste is handled through drop off, booked collections or an opt in bin depending on the council; their website has the current options.

How often is recycling collected in Proston?

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

What happens if I miss bin night in Proston?

General waste catches up next week, but South Burnett collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, South Burnett may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and South Burnett 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.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Proston bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
