The waste levy is one component of the Queensland Government’s new draft Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy which is designed to support our state becoming a zero-waste society. The Local Government Association of Queensland is also working towards a similar goal and all Queenslanders will have a role to play in achieving zero waste to landfill. 

Further waste levy information is available at www.qld.gov.au/waste-disposal-levy or by calling 13-QGOV (13-7468).
