Council operates a network of seven waste transfer facilities across the region where residents can drop bulky and other waste.
Your kerbside bins#
- Red lid, general waste
Kerbside service with a general waste bin and a yellow-lid recycling bin whose contents are sorted at a Materials Recovery Facility and processed into new products. Council also runs Bin Health Checks that tag recycling bins with feedback.
- 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
Green waste is accepted at Council's waste transfer facilities across the region.
The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by Scenic Rim Regional 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 Scenic Rim Regional Council#
Scenic Rim Regional 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 Scenic Rim Regional Council is below; Scenic Rim Regional Council publishes the day itself.

Green waste is accepted at Council's waste transfer facilities across the region.
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.
