2018–19 litter item counts for various site types, comparing Queensland to the national Australian average. The dataset was published by the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation and last updated in May 2026. It shows Queensland had higher average litter counts at beaches, highways, parks, and shopping centers, but lower counts at industrial and retail strips.
Use Cases
