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.

Nearby suburbs

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 Toowong bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Brisbane City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Brisbane City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
