Victoria's Kerbside Waste Data
From 1 July 2022 Recycling Victoria, a dedicated business unit within the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, will provide strategic leadership for the waste and recycling sector. The data and reports on this page will migrate to Recycling Victoria in the coming months.
Since 2000, we have surveyed Victorian councils about their kerbside waste and recycling services, including the tonnages, trends and diversion rates.
The portal enables you to sort by a combination of waste material, council area and year, providing a graphical presentation of location and trends.

- Hovering over any of the charts or councils on the map will display details about the visuals – i.e. if you hover over any of the trend charts, data associated with a particular year will be displayed;
