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.
