Queensland waste levy

The Queensland Government is introducing a levy on waste received at all Queensland landfills from 1 July 2019.

This levy applies to commercial waste and will be charged at $105 per tonne (excluding GST) for general waste and higher levies for regulated wastes. This increase for commercial waste collection customers will be proportional based on waste container type, number and service frequency.

Council will collect the levy on behalf of the State Government through customer waste accounts and at waste disposal facilities. Therefore, the levy applies to all waste bins associated with a business.

Please refer to the waste levy page for more information.
