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

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Ipswich City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Raceview blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Ipswich City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in QLD.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Raceview 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.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Raceview means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
