Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Moreton Bay 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.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Moreton Bay included.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Samford Valley households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Samford Valley means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
