Brisbane City Council is waiving the $30 establishment fee for green bins in October 2018. It popped up on my Brisbane Bin app (good for reminding when the rubbish truck is coming). The link includes a list of acceptable and unacceptable items for the green bin.

While the establishment fee is waived, there is an ongoing fee of $83.92 per year.

This is also similar to a deal posted in 2016 - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/268968.

    If you can, just compost it in the backyard.

      Burning garden waste is not allowed in urban areas in Queensland. If someone complains, you could be fined by the Fire department.

    You monster! Think of all the flowers and lush lawn that will inevitably take over at the dump. Unless someone’s dumping herbicide.

    A true ozbargainer will use this green waste to manufacture crude paper products.

      Look at this fatcat with calories to waste manufacturing crude paper products.

  Weird. It’s free with my council and they encourage you to put your food scraps in there.

  There's a bin app?

  Wow, there truly is an app for everything.

    What's wrong with using your brain to remember when to put the bin out?

        Until someone puts out their recycling bin in error and everyone follows suit and then the entire system breaks down

            @Hinee: It all works out in the end. Has done for years, before apps even existed.

      I should use my brain, but in BNE, we also need to put out the recycling bin every other week. I admit I get confused sometimes and I just check the app.

    I've been using What Bin Day which is free unless you have more than one property.

  Green bins are great if you have a lot of garden or lawn to maintain. Grass isn't that great for composting as it has too much nitrogen and unless you have a lot of trees there just isn't enough brown compost to balance it out. I also recommend upgrading to the bigger recycling bins as that is just a one-off cost with no ongoing.

  Thanks OP, got 3. Oh, wait…

  These aren't normally free, and there is an annual fee?

  Sending less to landfill saves the council money…
