Recycling rule worth knowing
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Wamuran not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Moreton Bay has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Wamuran's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
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
- Summer bins need managing. A Wamuran 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.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Wamuran the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
