In an apartment building, bin night is a team effort. Knowing the day is your part.
Your council coordinates collections across thousands of properties. This one's yours.
South Brisbane falls under Brisbane City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Brisbane City website for the official policy and any service updates.
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Brisbane City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. South Brisbane'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.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in QLD.
The streets around here all have their own bin days. Here are the nearby suburbs worth bookmarking.
