Did you know?
Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.
Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Sunshine Beach not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Noosa has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Noosa runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
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 Noosa'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
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Sunshine Beach bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Noosa collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
