What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Somerset shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Somerset runs use an automated arm, and bins in Toogoolawah blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

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

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Somerset's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • 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.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Somerset collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
