SoE2017: Interstate Commercial and Industrial Waste Received by Queensland Landfills

Queensland landfills received approximately 23,000 tonnes of commercial and industrial waste generated in other Australian states during the 2016–2017 financial year. The dataset is published by the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze interstate waste disposal patterns based on the reported tonnage.
• Model landfill capacity and planning based on the volume of waste received from other states.
• Assess the effectiveness of state-level waste policies based on cross-border waste movement.

Strengths

• Reports a specific tonnage (23,000 tonnes) for a defined financial year (2016–2017).
• Originates from a government environmental department, suggesting an official data source.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
