What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
Frequently asked questions
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Moreton Bay runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in QLD.
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
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Wights Mountain households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- 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.
