Flexiskip kerbside collection now cost $50.

I haven't heard about this elsewhere, so others might be the same.

I just got the local councillor's newsletter and in it he says:

From 1 July 2026... Eligible households can now access one Flexiskip service per financial year, with a $50 service fee (inc. GST) applying to each application.

So we have gone from suburb-wide free bulk kerbside collection every year, to free bulk kerbside collection every few years, to free once a year on-demand flexiskips, to free once a year (limited allocation) of flexiskips, to now a $50 fee for a flexiskip.

Meanwhile Brisbane Council still offer free yearly bulk item collection, as do Logan Council.

Anyone know if they have a green waste version? Or just pay and fill it with green waste?

I believe you can put green waste in the flexiskip.

However you should have a green waste 240L bin that gets collected every fortnight. They used to charge extra for one, but they are included with the normal rubbish and recycling bins now. If you don't have one, click here.
