Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Ipswich 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.

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 is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Ipswich City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Redbank Plains bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Ipswich City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Ipswich City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
