Background and Rollout Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BCC has commenced a citywide program to deliver green waste recycling bins to all eligible single-unit dwellings, with Bardon among the suburbs in the first delivery stage. The initiative, running from August to December 2025, aims to supply up to 160,000 additional bins across the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bardon deliveries are scheduled between 4 August and 15 August 2025, alongside suburbs including Wakerley, Chandler, Mackenzie, Manly West, Rochedale, Auchenflower, Wynnum, Wynnum West, Manly and Lota.<\/p>\n\n\n

Purpose and Expected Impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The program seeks to divert between 65,000 and 80,000 tonnes of green waste from landfill annually, turning garden waste into compost and mulch. This is expected to save ratepayers between $2 million and $3 million in the first year and up to $32 million over five years by reducing costs associated with the State\u2019s waste levy. Garden waste currently accounts for nearly a quarter of household general waste in Brisbane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligibility and Service Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All eligible standalone houses, including rental properties, will receive a 240-litre bin with a bright green lid unless they opt out. Households already using a green bin will continue their current service without additional charges. Apartment complexes and some townhouses are not automatically included but may request a bin at no extra cost. Collection occurs fortnightly, alternating with yellow-lid recycling bins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costs and Funding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From 1 July 2025, the Waste Utility Charge was replaced with a Universal Waste Charge of $512.96 annually, representing an increase of $49.62 on the previous base cost. This covers all waste services and the state waste levy. The rollout has been supported by the State\u2019s Grow FOGO fund, which provides BCC with a one-time grant per participating household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opt-Out Provisions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Residents who do not require a green waste bin, such as those with minimal garden space or established composting systems, can opt out by submitting a request to BCC by 1 December 2025. This does not reduce the waste charge, as it covers all collection services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deliveries in Bardon and other Week 1 suburbs will continue until mid-August, with the citywide rollout expected to be completed by December 2025. Collection services for new bins will begin in the fortnight following delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
