Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Redland Bay?
Redland City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. 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 Redland Bay?
General waste catches up next week, but Redland City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Redland City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Why was my bin in Redland Bay 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. Redland City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Redland City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Redland City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
