What goes in each bin, how hard rubbish works and your green waste service in Sunshine Coast Council, in plain language and verified from the council. Confirm dates and accepted items on the official page before you act.
Weekly general waste collection, a fortnightly recycling bin, and a fortnightly lime-green-lid garden organics bin. General waste bin lids are changing from green to red over time to meet Australian standards, and residents can swap to a 360L recycling bin at no extra cost.
Rinsed bottles, jars, cans, paper and cardboard, placed loose. Check the council page for glass and soft plastics rules in your area.
The lime-green-lid garden organics bin is emptied fortnightly, on the same day as general waste and on the alternate week to recycling.
Council does not run a kerbside large item collection; a directory of private large household item removal services is provided instead.
The lime-green-lid garden organics bin is emptied fortnightly, on the same day as general waste and on the alternate week to recycling.
If an item will not fit the kerbside bin, or you have missed the Sunshine Coast Council hard rubbish window, a local skip or rubbish removal service can clear it. Leave a mobile and the platform texts you the details.
