Pollution

Contaminated land

We ensure known contamination sites and potentially contaminating activities are managed appropriately to help prevent environmental and health risks in Queensland.

Waste, recycling and litter

‘Waste’ is made up of general waste, such as household waste, and regulated waste which requires a higher level of management to prevent harm to the environment or human health.

Pollution notices

Pollution notices alert people to pollution events and detail the actions people should take to protect their health.
