More bins, less landfill, better Brisbane
More than 170,000 Brisbane households are already using green bins to recycle garden waste, diverting over 43,000 tonnes from landfill every year.
From August, we’re making it even easier by providing a green waste bin to every eligible home that wants one.
Whether you're mowing the lawn, trimming hedges or disposing of palm fronds, you'll have a dedicated bin to keep green waste out of landfill and turn it into compost instead.
This rollout will also help households offset the rising cost of the Queensland Government’s waste levy bin tax.
It’s another practical way we're easing cost-of-living pressures, backing our suburbs, and keeping Brisbane clean, sustainable and Australia’s lifestyle capital.
