SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 6 APRIL 2021
Material Received at Eumundi Road Resource Recovery Centre and Landfill
The above chart illustrates the amount of waste received at the facility and the amount that goes to
landfill. The chart above, which incorporates the reporting period, does not show any particular trend.
The period was dominated by the Covid pandemic and therefore it is impossible to reliably compare
the data against previous years. Trends in waste prior to Covid show that Noosa Council is
consistently recycling more waste material each year, however amounts of waste entering the facility
are also consistently increasing.
Diversion rates for material entering the Eumundi Road Facility: July – December 2020.
Type of waste On-site diversion rate Qld Govt diversion from
landfill targets - 2025
Municipal Solid Waste 22%* 55%
Commercial & Industrial 48%* 65%
