Council runs a kerbside clean-up service for large household items; check the accepted-items list before putting waste out.
Your kerbside bins#
- Red lid, general waste
Standard general waste and recycling wheelie bins, with an optional green waste bin available to order.
- Yellow lid, recycling
Rinsed bottles, jars, cans, paper and cardboard, placed loose. Check the council page for glass and soft plastics rules in your area.
- Green lid, organics
An optional green waste bin can be ordered for garden waste collection.
The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by Logan City Council. See what bin does it go in for the item-by-item answers, and the purple glass bin rollout for where a fourth lid is arriving.
Getting a collection in Logan City Council#
Logan City Council takes the booking, sets the date and decides what it will lift, so have your address and an item list ready before you start. Most councils cap the volume per booking, and the rule above is the one that applies here.
How booked and scheduled collections differ across the country is covered in hard rubbish collection in Australia.
When your bin goes out#
Collection day is set by your street address, not by the council area, so this guide does not carry per-street dates and will not guess one. The service pattern for Logan City Council is below; Logan City Council publishes the day itself.
Garden and food organics in Logan City Council#
An optional green waste bin can be ordered for garden waste collection.
Whether a green bin takes food scraps as well as garden material depends on the service your council runs. See the FOGO bin explained, and the item pages for food scraps and garden waste.
