A new initiative: The Queensland litter and illegal dumping management framework

The Litter and Illegal Dumping Management Framework (LIDMF) is a new initiative by the Queensland State Government. Queensland’s Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy was released on 1 July 2019. As part of this initiative, the need for a holistic, scientifically-based framework for litter and illegal dumping was identified. 

The aim of the LIDMF is to compile a comprehensive list of sources where litter and illegally dumped (LID) waste originates, to understand how LID moves and changes in the environment and how the resultant materials affect values. At the heart of the framework is an attribute-based classification scheme. All of the compiled information will be available on the web and will be supported by conceptual models.

Enforcement networks effectively tackle illegal dumping

Enforcement is key to reducing litter and illegal dumping, supporting education and infrastructure practices. The Litter Enforcement Officers Network offers training and resources to up skill officers, encourages collaboration and information sharing and advocates for best practices to target illegal dumping. 

This webinar will show some of the achievements found through network collaboration, and discuss some best practice processes that are common issues.
