Frequently asked questions
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Wongawallan can send a whole truck to landfill, and Gold Coast City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Gold Coast City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Wongawallan blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
What happens if I miss bin night in Wongawallan?
General waste catches up next week, but Gold Coast City 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, Gold Coast City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Wongawallan 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.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Wongawallan means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Thursday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Wongawallan that night is Thursday. These are two different things and both matter.
