Frequently asked questions
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Strathpine can send a whole truck to landfill, and Moreton Bay can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Are the bins different if I rent in Strathpine?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Moreton Bay supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Moreton Bay's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Strathpine means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Strathpine bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
