Lockyer Valley Regional Council uses separate kerbside collections for rubbish, recycling. Choose an exact address for its dates and service eligibility. Collection times can change without notice. Collections Day only shows a schedule when Council's official map returns one exact serviced property with current waste and recycling dates.

Common questions
Quick answers
How do I find Lockyer Valley Regional Council collection dates?
Choose the exact property above. The private result uses the council's official collection information after that selection, rather than guessing from a suburb or postcode.
Can soft plastics go in the recycling bin?
No. Keep plastic bags, film and wrappers out of mixed recycling and use an appropriate drop-off service where one is available.
Does this council collect food scraps at the kerb?
Not as a standard service shown in this guide. Check the official council source for future changes or property-specific options.
