Where does all the rubbish go?

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), in 2009-10 Australians sent 21.6 million tonnes of waste to landfill. For those of you that aren’t familiar with visualising a tonne, think of small truck load full and then multiply it by 21.6 million! It’s quite a bit of rubbish. Waste management is an ongoing topic in Australian politics, and terms like ‘diversion rate’ and ‘recovery and reprocessing’ are populating the vernacular. That said, the Australian diversion rate, that is the amount of rubbish we diverted from landfill in 2009-10 still sits at under 50%, to be exact 42.6% (ABS, 2011). Rubbish recycling overseas While this is of course an increase on previous figures, it is a far cry from some of our international counterparts. For example, Sweden has been so successful in their recycling efforts that The Huffington Post has reported that only 4% of their rubbish goes into landfill.
