Subject: Easy guide to waste and recycling in Logan

Dear new resident,

Welcome to your new home in Logan! We hope you are as proud as we are to be living in this green city of opportunity and culture. Managing common household waste correctly helps to keep our city clean, tidy and safe for residents and all the other creatures we share it with.

Did you know these things are free for residents?

  • An annual kerbside large item collection, where you can dispose of those bulky items up to 2 cubic metres.
  • If you’re a larger family, you can have your standard recycling bin upsized to 360L to help you recycle more.
  • Items suitable for resale, such as clothing and furniture, can be dropped off for FREE at Council’s waste and recycling facilities!  These will be sold at Logan’s Recycling Market, where you could even pick up a bargain yourself.
  • Most types of recycling are free to drop off at Council’s waste and recycling facilities e.g. metal, oil, paint, gas bottles, electronic waste, batteries, vapes, cardboard etc.
  • Green waste can also be dropped for free e.g. lawn clippings, garden prunings, branches and leaves.

Waste and recycling can seem a little complex, with so many different things we need to know how to discard correctly and safely. Because of this we have created a quick reference webpage to make it easy for you to find all the key waste and recycling information you need. It covers everything from using kerbside bins and Council waste and recycling facilities, through to managing common household hazardous waste, such as batteries.

Please visit Logan Council's New Residents' Waste and Recycling Information.

If you are short of time, there is a video at the top of the page that covers the key things you need to know.

For even more information, please visit Waste and recycling.

Knowing how to dispose of your waste correctly will: ensure your bins can be serviced when the truck arrives, allow you to easily and safely discard items you no longer want, help you recycle right and support a clean and sustainable Logan.

Thank you for managing your household waste responsibly and contributing to our resilient and sustainable city.

Kind regards
