Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Toowong 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 Toowong vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Brisbane City 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.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Toowong bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Brisbane City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
