Recycling and Waste in Queensland report

The annual Recycling and Waste in Queensland report presents data on, and trends in, waste recovery, recycling and disposal in Queensland.

The report provides valuable insight to help inform policy development and decision makers in the waste and resource recovery industry, local government and Queensland Government about the state’s recycling and waste management activities.

The Recycling and Waste in Queensland report is informed by the Annual Waste Data Survey.

The survey captures data about waste generation, resource recovery, treatment and disposal in Queensland.

It also provides a range of government and industry stakeholders across the entire state 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 both the micro and macro level and ensures better productivity, with more likelihood of opportunities being identified and leveraged, and challenges managed.

The department prepares the Recycling and Waste in Queensland report as part of its obligations under the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011.
