Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Springbrook?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Gold Coast 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.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Gold Coast City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Monday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Quick tips for bin night
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Springbrook that night is Monday. These are two different things and both matter.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining on Monday night. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
