Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011

This section applies if a weighbridge is installed at a waste disposal site, whether or not it is required under section 57.

Each time waste or other material is required to be measured under section 59, the operator of the waste disposal site must ensure the weighbridge is used to measure and record the waste or other material.

However, if it is not practicable to use the weighbridge to measure and record a particular amount of waste or other material, the operator may measure and record the waste in the way the operator and the chief executive agree to in writing.

The operator of the waste disposal site must ensure a record made under subsection (2) includes the information required by the chief executive.

The information required by the chief executive under subsection (4) must be published on the department’s website and may include only—

the type of waste or other material; and

whether the waste was generated in the waste levy zone, the non-levy zone or outside Queensland; and

details of any exemption or discount applying to the waste; and

the vehicle used to move the waste or other material.

If the weighbridge is not in operation when an amount of waste or other material is required to be measured under section 59, the operator of the waste disposal site must ensure the waste or other material is measured and recorded in compliance with the weight measurement criteria.
