Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Fraser Coast asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Tinana can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. Containers for Change refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in QLD, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Tinana the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Tinana 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.
