The average Queensland household generates around 515kg of waste each year, according to Queensland Government waste data. An audit can help you to understand more about your own personal waste patterns.
You might like to consider conducting your home waste audit over a few weeks so that you can carefully track your patterns and establish a baseline of data for your household.
