Abstract
The Waste Management Facilities Database presents the spatial locations; in point format, all known waste management, recycling and reprocessing facilities within Australia. The Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment (DAWE) compiled this database with the following public and private agencies: 1 Geoscience Australia 2 Qld Dept of Environment and Science 3 Canberra Region Joint Organisation 4 Hunter Joint Organisation of Councils 5 NetWaste 6 Illawarra Shoalhaven Joint Organisation 7 ACT City Services 8 NT council websites 9 SA council websites 10 Tas council websites 11 Metropolitan Waste & Resource Recovery Group 12 Loddon Mallee Waste & Resource Recovery Group 13 Barwon South West Waste & Resource Recovery Group 14 Grampians Central West Waste & Resource Recovery Group 15 Gippsland Waste & Resource Recovery Group 16 North East Waste & Resource Recovery Group 17 Goulburn Valley Waste & Resource Recovery Group 18 WA council websites 19 Cleanaway website 20 Veolia website 21 Repurpose It website 22 Advanced Circular Polymers website 23 NSW Return and Earn 24 Qld Containers for Change 25 NT Container Deposits 26 SA Container Deposit Locations 27 ACT Container Deposit Locations 28 NSW EPA 29 SA EPA 30 Re.Group website 31 Bingo Industries website 32 Industry sources 33 Coles website 34 Woolworths website 35 ACT Government 36 EPA Tasmania 37 WA DWER 38 National TV and computer drop-off locations 39 Green Industries SA 40 Qld Dept of Environment and Science 41 AORA 42 NSW EPA 43 NT EPA 44 APCO 45 Qld council websites 46 NSW council websites 47 Vic council websites 48 Sustainability Victoria 49 Norske Skog Australia website 50 InfraBuild website 51 Liberty Primary Steel website 52 Recycal website 53 Sell and Parker website 54 Future Recycling website 55 TES-AMM Australia website 56 Tambo Waste website 57 NAWMA website 58 Infrastructure survey responses 59 WA DWER infrastructure survey responses This database is for public, industry and government use under the CC-BY arrangements.

Lineage
The waste management facilities dataset underwent a complete updated in 2022 using waste data captured by the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment (DAWE). The dataset was address matched using the address provided with the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF) data. Where no spatial location was provided GIS specialist’s attempted to find a corresponding G-NAF address and updates to this address completed where possible. Visual located sites were found using Esri World Imagery and aligned to match a similar location on the block based on the surrounding G-NAF address. For example centre or front of block. Some locations were unable to be located due to lack of ground truthing capability. All other waste facilities contain the spatial and attribution originally received from DAWE. The imagery used ranges from one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery.
