Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Springfield Lakes's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

What happens if I miss bin night in Springfield Lakes?

General waste catches up next week, but Ipswich City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Ipswich City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Ipswich City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

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.
  • Know your fortnight. Springfield Lakes alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Springfield Lakes means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
