9 September 2024: Landfill levy waiver

Premier Jeremy Rockliff and Nick Duigan, Minister for Parks and Environment, have announced the Tasmanian Government is waiving the landfill levy for the disposal of flood and storm waste.

This is a statewide waiver for residents across Tasmania.

Waste includes materials damaged or left on your property by the flood waters, or green waste material such as spoiled food and other organics.

Importantly residents do not need to take additional actions but should inform their landfill operator on arrival at a facility that they are disposing of waste generated by the severe weather event.

People are encouraged to check with their local councils more information.

The landfill waiver will be in place until 30 November 2024.
