Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
General waste catches up next week, but Brisbane City collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Brisbane City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
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 Brisbane City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Sandgate blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Sandgate's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across QLD are progressively adding organics services.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
