Green space, green bin. The garden organics collection is more useful here than you might think.
Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.
Redlynch falls under Cairns Regional for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Cairns Regional website for the official policy and any service updates.
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Cairns Regional supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
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. Cairns Regional has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Redlynch's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
Two Redlynch streets can have two different bin nights. Your address gives you the exact dates for every bin at your place.
