Recycling and waste in Queensland report
The annual recycling and waste in Queensland report presents data and trends for waste recovery, recycling and disposal in Queensland.
The report provides valuable insight about the state’s recycling and waste management activities, which all inform policy development and decision-makers in the waste and resource recovery industry, local government, and the Queensland Government.
- The report is informed by the Annual Waste Data Survey, which: captures data about waste generation, resource recovery, treatment and disposal provides a range of government and industry stakeholders statewide with access to high-quality, accurate waste data, while protecting survey respondent privacy and commercial confidentiality.
Such data is critical to stakeholder planning and decision-making at the micro and macro levels. It ensures better productivity, increases the likelihood of opportunities being identified and leveraged, and challenges managed.
The department prepares the report as part of its obligations under the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011.
