Waste exports

We regularly publish international trade data on Australia’s exports of waste using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. It covers the value ($) and volume (tonnage) of waste exported from Australia by waste type, place of export and country of destination.

The annual summaries compile and analyse the data for each financial year. The monthly summaries update the analysis with the most recent data available.

Note that this data is subject to revision and should be used with caution.
