    Hi William,

    FYI, we just updated the Gallery section of Design Area 1. I added a photo of the rubbish truck that goes around the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, we don’t have waste characterisation data specific to Saibai Island. However, I found this great resource to help you in your design and future estimations:

    Recycling and Waste in Queensland Interactive Data Visualisations (2016 to present)

    According to the website, the data is:

    > collected from councils and businesses through the annual survey and monthly waste levy reporting
    > used by government and industry to measure Queensland’s recovery, recycling and disposal performance and inform planning and decision-making
    > used in the annual Recycling and Waste in Queensland report, which summarises Queensland’s recovery, recycling and disposal performance.

    As a recent update regarding burning of waste, they no longer do this anymore due to health and safety reasons.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Jean
