Queensland landfills and recyclers received a total of 855,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste generated interstate in 2018–19. The dataset, published by the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation, quantifies waste flows for disposal and recycling. It was last updated in May 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze interstate waste import trends based on the 794,000 tonnes sent to landfills.
- Compare disposal versus recycling rates based on the 61,000 tonnes received by recyclers.
- Model regional waste management capacity based on the total interstate waste volume.
- Assess policy impacts on construction waste diversion based on the split between landfill and recycling.
Strengths
- Provides specific tonnage figures (794,000 and 61,000 tonnes) for interstate waste.
- Distinguishes between waste sent for landfill disposal and waste received by recyclers.
- Has a clear temporal focus on the 2018–19 financial year.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing only on Queensland's perspective.
