For waste transporters

Obligations of persons delivering waste

A person delivering waste, either in person or through someone else, must give the operator of a waste disposal site delivery information that details:

• the type of waste being delivered (for example, construction and demolition waste, or a type of regulated waste)
• if the waste is exempt, the type of exemption and evidence of any applicable certificate of exempt waste
• whether the waste was generated in the metro levy zone, regional levy zone, non-levy zone or outside of Queensland.

The highest applicable levy rate will apply to loads that have different types of waste mixed together. If the waste is generated in the levy zone or interstate and is being disposed of in the non-levy zone, and if the vehicle used to deliver the waste is more than 4.5 tonnes GCM or GVM, the person delivering the waste must give the operator of a waste disposal site the delivery information no less than 24 hours beforehand.

Delivering waste in the NON-levy zone

Additional requirements will apply to waste generated in the levy zone or interstate when it is delivered in the non-levy zone:

• if the waste is delivered to a waste disposal site, a resource recovery or waste transfer facility, or a recycling activity, in the non-levy zone using a vehicle over 4.5 tonnes GCM or GVM, the delivery information will have to be given to the operator no less than 24 hours beforehand
• if the waste is delivered to a waste disposal site in the non-levy zone, and it is mixed with waste generated in the non-levy zone, all the waste will be taken to have been generated in the levy zone (unless there is a prior agreement with the chief executive of the department).
