HOUSEHOLD WASTE RECYCLING AND REUSE
Australian levels of household recycling and reuse of waste have remained steady since 2006, after experiencing noticeable gains over the past three surveys, commencing in 2000. In March 2009, 99% of Australian households participated in some form of recycling or reusing waste during the 12 months prior to interview. Of these, 98% of households had recycled, and 86% had reused waste (table 2.2). In March 2009, all states and territories recorded a household recycling rate greater than 95%. Queensland recorded a drop in waste reuse from 92% in 2006 to 87% in 2009 (table 2.3).
