Recycling rule worth knowing

Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Tamborine Mountain?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Scenic Rim Regional 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.

Why does my neighbour in Tamborine Mountain have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Tamborine Mountain vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Scenic Rim Regional collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Tamborine Mountain the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Tamborine Mountain red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
