Requirements for operators in the levy zone
Record keeping
Record keeping requirements
Waste disposal site operators must keep records for a minimum of five years, such as:
- weighbridge records
- waste data returns (summary and detailed data)
- if weight measurement criteria were used, records of vehicles delivering waste to the site
- volumetric survey results.
Types of waste to be measured and reported
All waste delivered to a waste disposal site is required to be reported in tonnes. Movements of waste (or other material of more than one tonne) must be measured and recorded, including waste delivered to:
- landfills or subsequently moved from the site
- resource recovery area (RRA)
- RRA and subsequently moved from the area to any other part of the site, or moved outside the waste disposal site in a vehicle with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) or a gross combination mass (GCM) greater than 4.5 tonnes.
