Why bin night gets confusing
Most Australian councils, including City of Moreton Bay, collect general waste weekly and alternate recycling and garden organics on a fortnightly rotation. That means you need to know which week of the fortnight you're in, not just which day. Public holidays can shift the entire schedule by a day, and if you've just moved in, your neighbours may be on a completely different rotation to you, even on the same street.
What the bin colours mean
Australian councils broadly follow the national standard for kerbside bins (AS 4123.7): a red lid for general waste, yellow for mixed recycling, and green for garden organics, with some councils adding a lime-green FOGO lid for combined food and garden waste, and a few using local variations. The checker above shows the bin colours City of Moreton Bay actually uses for your address.
An easier way to remember bin night
If you're tired of checking calendars and counting fortnights, there's a simpler approach. Bindicator is a small lamp that sits on your kitchen bench or shelf and lights up the night before collection day, in the colour of the bins that need to go out. You set it up once (it takes about 2 minutes), and then you never need to check a City of Moreton Bay schedule again.
