State Government Landfill Levy

What is the State Government Landfill Levy?

The introduction of a landfill levy is a long-term approach to improving waste management and resource recovery in Tasmania. The levy is charged on all waste sent to landfill in Tasmania.

The landfill levy aims to divert materials that can be reused, repaired, recycled, or made into new materials, away from landfill, helping to find more valuable uses for these materials and reducing landfill. Any material that is recovered through a Resource Recovery Facility for reuse is not subject to the levy.

For more information on the state-wide levy then please visit the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania (NRE) website:
