Brisbane City Council’s 2026 waste vouchers are issued automatically to households, and they should arrive by the end of August 2026. Homeowners receive them with their rates notice at the start of the financial year, while tenants receive them at their household address in July.

What to expect

  • Homeowners: vouchers come with the rates notice at the start of the financial year.
  • Email rates notice: the vouchers are mailed separately.
  • Tenants: vouchers are sent to the household address in July each financial year.
  • All households: should have them by the end of August.

For BCC 2026

That means if you’re asking about the 2026–27 set, the practical answer is: look for them from July, and by late August at the latest.

Using them

BCC says it provides 10 free vouchers per household each financial year for disposal at resource recovery centres, including general waste and green waste.
