Residents in Brisbane south are protesting a plan to move a waste and recycling facility's driveway closer to a nearby school.

The Acacia Ridge Advocacy Group was created in 2018 to fight the development of the Watson Resource Recovery facility next to Watson Road State School.

The group argues the plan would lead to heavy vehicles using the same road as parents, students and staff and fears it could lead to dangerous accidents.

The development application for the facility is still under assessment.
