The Beenleigh Waste and Recycling Facility will stop accepting general waste from 1 July 2026.
The change is part of the Logan City Council’s broader strategy to improve the region’s waste infrastructure and support a growing population.
From 1 July, only domestic green waste, recyclables – such as metals, cardboard, batteries and e-waste – and good quality second-hand household items will be accepted at the facility.
Mayor of Logan Jon Raven said the changes would address long-standing safety and congestion issues, making the facility more efficient for everyone.
“Beenleigh is one of our busiest sites, but it simply wasn’t built for the amount of traffic it gets today,” Raven said.
“The small site is too constrained to expand. This causes issues with traffic, queuing and operational pressures from the community.
“The facility will be improved so it can take a higher volume of green waste, e-waste and recyclables.”
All Logan residents will continue to have weekly general waste collection, fortnightly recycling bin collection and scheduled annual bulky waste kerbside collection.
Ratepayers will also continue to receive four waste disposal vouchers annually.
The Logan City Council became responsible for the Beenleigh Waste and Recycling Facility after local government boundary changes in 2008.
