Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Upper Caboolture 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 Upper Caboolture vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Moreton Bay included.
What happens if I miss bin night in Upper Caboolture?
General waste catches up next week, but Moreton Bay collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Moreton Bay may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Upper Caboolture the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Moreton Bay'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.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Upper Caboolture bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
