Thousands of tonnes of New South Wales recycling is being sent to Queensland as landfill and is causing controversy between Environment Ministers.
Queensland Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch states that Queensland will not become a dumping ground for interstate rubbish.
Queensland does not have a waste levy, so many companies are sending their waste to the Sunshine State to avoid the one hundred and thirty-eight dollar per tonne levy enforced in New South Wales.
New South Wales Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton says Queensland has to stop talking tough on waste and introduce a waste levy.
