This document has been prepared by McGregor Tan Research to report on the results of the
National Litter Index project and in particular Queensland results.
Background
1.1 The National Litter count was conducted in NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC & WA
in November 2005 and the second Monitor was conducted in May 2006.
Litter counts were conducted at 76 sites within TAS and across 151 sites
within each of the other states.
1.2 The third wave has now been conducted during November 2006.
1.3 Wave 3 incorporated litter counts for ACT and NT at the same level as TAS
(76 sites are surveyed within each state).
1.4 Regular monitoring of the litter stream will establish a succinct picture of its
component parts – i.e. the various kinds of litter and its distribution across
different area types.
1.5 All litter items counted were detailed in 6 material type categories, those
being:
• Glass
• Metal
• Plastic
• Paper / paperboard
• Miscellaneous
• Cigarette butts
1.6 The litter was further analysed by 8 different site types. In total 151sites
were selected from each state across a variety of areas conforming to
similar guidelines across all states.
- 3 -
1.7 Tasmania, The Australian Capital Territory and The Northern Territory were
each surveyed at only 76 sites. Item counts and volume result for these
states have been multiplied by a scaling factor of 1.987 to facilitate inter-
state comparisons on commensurable figures.
1.8 The following table outlines the number of metropolitan and regional sites
sampled from ACT/ NT/ TAS compared with those sampled from other
states.

The Litter Monitoring Approach and Definitions
1.9 The following outlines the guidelines, protocols of the dimensions of the site
types.
1.10 Different site types will have different area coverage, generally conforming
to the following guidelines. Note: the application of these guidelines allows
flexibility to accommodate the topographical and geographical nature of the
relevant area being scoped. The critical issue is that the site area must be
clear and identifiable so that the area counted is consistent over time.
1.11 Note: the National Litter Index compares between representative sites in
each state rather than the full area or population of the state.
Residential
1.12 A street area approximately 150 metres in length, along both sides of the
road from the front of the properties on each side of that road extending to
the gutter including litter in the gutter.
Beach
1.13 An area of approximately 50 metres long and 10 metres wide, positioned on
one or across both sides of a jetty, boat ramp or main entry access point to
beach.
Industrial
1.14 A street area approximately 150 metres long within an industrial area, the
count area to be from the fence line or immediate front of the properties to
the gutter but not including litter in the gutter
- 5 -
Car Park
1.15 An area of approximately 30 by 50 metres in an open space public car park
at a point distant from the entrance to the car park.
Shopping Centre
1.16 An area approximately 50 metres long and 25 metres wide, directly outside
of the main shopping centre building and including one or across both sides
of a major entrance.
Retail Strip/ Shops - Street Precinct
1.17 An area approximately 150 metres long in front of a strip of shops,
extending from the front of the shops to the street gutter but not including
litter in the gutter.
Recreational Park
1.18 An area of approximately 40 by 50 metres in a park area which includes a
playground but which is not in the immediate vicinity of a shop or kiosk. The
areas should be within a frequently used park.
Highway
1.19 The count area commences from the region beginning at the edge of the
road, and extending out from the road to the nearest fence/ boundary or up
to a distance of 10 meters out from the road side if no such fence/ boundary
exists. Two such regions should be collected from, one on each side of the
road. Each region should extend for a length of approximately 200 meters
along the road.

Litter Categorisation
1.20 The following outlines the litter categorisations and assumptions used to
audit the designated sites.
A standard data collection form, was used when conducting the litter
counts. A copy of this form is provided in Appendix 1.
Litter items counted are described as specifically as possible including
brand names where visible. Litter by brand required additional
analysis and will be reported on at a later date
Auditors were trained to carefully analyse the litter to ensure that it is
properly identified before recording on the survey form. For example,
to determine whether an item is glass and not clear plastic, to
differentiate between fruit juice and fruit drink as these are recorded
on different sections of the form.
Other examples of how the count is conducted are - broken bottles
are counted as one bottle, a bag of dumped garbage is considered to
be one item of “illegal dumping” and scattered newspaper pages are
counted as one newspaper. While individual cigarette butts are
counted, where there are large volumes of cigarette butts an
estimated count is acceptable.
For the purpose of the Litter Count, all waste located within any count
site is litter apart from that properly disposed of in a waste receptacle.
Food is not considered to be litter.
Seasonal Fluctuations
1.21 Reviewing the quarterly data in South Australia, from November 1998
through to current, displays some seasonal factors impact on the level of
litter. It appears that May is in general the highest quarter, the drop
occurring from May to August, and incremental increases to November,
February and with the peak in May. This open up several hypotheses to
factors effecting littering levels.
- 7 -
Volumes
1.22 As part of the exercise an estimate of the volume of the litter counted in the
National Index has been made. We have been able to determine the
individual volumetric profile of specific item types through extensive
empirical and iterative observations and measurement of historical litter data
in SA. In order to reflect a more realistic scenario, the final volumetric
profiles formulated for each litter category item, took into account that a
certain proportion of items found would be crushed and weathered.
1.23 These profiles have then been extrapolated to calculate estimated volumes
of the national data based on the numbers of litter items per category. It
should be noted that the volumes are estimates only.
Methodology
1.24 On the 15th of November 2006, across South Australia, New South Wales,
Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland, McGregor Tan staff
counted litter in the same 151 (Tasmania 76) respective sites in each state
which had been counted in previous counts. Further The Northern Territory
and The Australian Capital Territory have been included for the first time,
with 76 sites in each Territory scoped prior to the count in November 2006
to fit the national site guidelines.
1.25 Many of the Auditors that completed the first count were involved in
subsequent counts. The Auditors were all trained in the correct counting
procedure before each litter count and were provided with a detailed site
description for each site type. Each site description contains the following
information:
• Location
• Classification
• Site Code
• Description and Features comprising text (describing visible features
for easy identification), photos and maps
- 8 -
• Litter Count Procedure (describing area for counting)
Note: the National Litter Index compares between representative sites in
each state rather than the full area or population of the state.
1.26 Auditors then used the comprehensive litter count forms to record the litter
found in the site area, in the appropriate category.
1.27 To enable meaningful comparisons with the other states in the national
trends section of the report, Tasmania, The Northern Territory and The
Australian Capital Territory, the 76 sites counted in each of these states and
territories have been re-weighted to an equivalence of 151 sites.

The following Executive Summary covers the findings of the Wave 3 litter count, as an overall
summary.
2.1 At A Glance
In general, there was a decrease in the level of litter items found in sites
around Australia. The decrease is reflected across the board but is
particularly pronounced in the cigarette butts material category. The ‘dirty
dozen’, represents 78% of the litter stream (down from 80% in Wave 2).
Over the two Waves, lollipop sticks and shopper dockets and related
shopping paper have gone out of the top dozen, being replaced by other
glass, and beer aluminium, all types all sizes.
Nationally, November litter is down 14% from May. This is in line with
seasonal patterns - but is still higher than in November 2005.
Highways remain the most significant catchment area with 32% of the
number of items found and 49% of the volume of litter. Car parks and
industrial sites remain major litter catchment areas.
In the current Wave, despite the decrease in the number of items, the
average estimated volume increased, totalling 2.126 cubic metres, up from
1.997 cubic metres in Wave 2. Illegal dumping remains the top item
contributing 31% to the total Wave 3 average volume of litter encountered
across all states and territories (the Wave 3 average totalling 0.653 cubic
metres up from the Wave 2 average of 0.428 cubic metres). Miscellaneous
33% (includes illegal dumping), plastic 31%, and paper 18%, litter comprise
the majority of the volume of litter in Wave 3.
Volume of data is up by 7% reflecting an increase in illegal dumping.
The following table shows each items movement from Wave 1 to Wave 3.

Number of Items
Note: the National Litter Index compares between representative sites in
each state rather than the full area or population of the state.
In total, 105,484 litter items were counted in Wave 3 down from 109,175,
despite for the first time the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital
Territory also being included. The average per State was 15,691 (down from
18,196 in Wave 2). Cigarette butts accounted for almost half of the total
number of litter items with 48,698 counted (down from 53,791 in Wave 2),
an average of 7,314 per state (47%). Plastic was the next highest category
(21%, as in previous Waves) followed by paper/ paperboard (17%, as in
Wave 2).

The number of litter items counted across each site is shown in the following
graph. As the graph shows, the average declined, and therefore only two
states recorded an increase, while two experiences significant reductions in
litter found at the states’ respective sites.
Victoria showed a slight increase in the number of items found at sites
within that state, whilst New South Wales and Queensland showed dramatic
reductions in the number litter items counted during Wave 3 compared to
Wave 2.

Volume
The total volume average across all states for Wave 3 amounted to 2.126
cubic metres (compared to 1.977 m3 in Wave 2). The most voluminous of
the litter categories was miscellaneous accounting for a third (33%) of the
total volume. Illegal dumping is the main contributor in the miscellaneous
category, alone accounting for 31% of the Wave 3 average total volume.
Following, plastic accounted for 31%, paper/ paperboard 18%, metal 12%,
glass 6% of the total volume of the litter counted, and finally, cigarette butts
remained at less than 1%.

2.3 Cigarette Butts
On average in Wave 3 almost half (47%, compared to 49% in Wave 2) of
the litter items counted were cigarette butts. Western Australia and South
Australia have the lowest proportion of cigarette butts in their litter stream
(43% and 42% respectively), whilst NT and NSW also show relatively low
proportions of cigarette butts within the litter stream (44% of the items
counted within each state were cigarette butts). However, the proportion of
total litter items represented by cigarette butts in ACT (54%) was higher
than for any other state.

2.5 Dispersion of Litter Across Site Types
The litter was counted across differing land areas, designed to capture a
good representation of areas throughout the state.
Highways formed the major catchment sites of the total litter stream,
containing 32% of all litter items, and 49% of the total volume of litter. The
average dispersion of litter amongst the varying site types in descending
order of contribution to the total litter stream, was as follows:
Highways (items 32%, volume 49%)
Car Park (17%, volume 13%)
Industrial (items 12%, volume 16%)
Retail (items 9%, volume 2%)
Residential (items 8%, volume 9%)
Shopping Centre (items 8%, volume 2%)
Recreational Park (items 7%, volume 4%)
Beach (items 6%, volume 5%)
As the following graphs illustrate, the dispersion of litter by site type is
relatively consistent over both the litter items and the litter volume across
Waves.

The following graph outlines the proportion of litter items by site type. There
are variations on a state to state basis. For example, Victoria has a smaller
proportion of its litter in highways, compared to the other states/ or the
average, however, it has a greater proportion found in car parks. On the
other hand, The Australian Capital Territory had a higher proportion of litter
found at highways, and a smaller proportion found at industrial sites.

Key Identifiable Items
Tracking several of the key offending items, it is apparent that a high
proportion of snack bags and confectionery wrappers are abandoned at
highways. Metal bottle tops and can pull rings are most prevalent in car
parks. Straws were mainly found at highways and car parks. Plastic bottle
tops were most commonly found at highways and car parks. The greatest
proportion of cigarette packets were found in highways. Several drink
container items were grouped into one category to analyse where these
items are located. The table below outlines these items. Drink containers
were found most prevalent at highways, industrial and car park locations.

2.6 The Dirty Dozen
The average top dozen items accounted for 78% of the litter counted in
Wave 3, 80% in Wave 2 and 78% in Wave 1. Below is a brief ranked
comparison between the twelve most dirty litter items in 2006 and 2005
data.

*Note green text represents new items to the top dozen, while red text represents items that have subsequently dropped off the top dozen
Over the most recent two Waves, it is apparent that lollipop sticks (currently
18th) and shopper dockets and related shopping paper (e.g. lists) (currently
ranked 17th) are out of the top dozen and coming into the top dozen were
other glass and beer, aluminium, all types, all sizes (respectively these
items were previously ranked 15th and 16th in Wave 2).
However, cigarette butts clearly remain the major item, accounting for
almost half of all items in the litter stream.
In terms of sites types, highways remain the main site type, where there is
the most litter (32%, compared to 30% in Wave 2).

The following summary covers the findings of the Wave 3 litter count, conducted in QLD.
3.1 At A Glance
Queensland recorded an overall decrease in litter items, 16,633 down from
25,820. Main decreases were in the following categories:
• Cigarette butts 8,373, down from 13,525 items
• Plastic 3,233, down from 5,097 items
• Paper 3,007, down from 4,753 items
Three quarters (78%) of the litter found at retail sites was cigarette butts.
The top three site types overall for litter were:
• Highways (33%, volume 55%)
• Industrial (16%, volume 23%)
• Car park (12%, volume 5%)
• Retail (12%, volume 1%)
In the current Wave, there was 1.536 cubic metres of litter volume,
compared to 1.993 cubic metres in Wave 2. The main components of the
volume were plastic 50%, paper 26%. and metal 13%.
The following table shows each items movement from Wave 1 through to
Wave 3.

3.3 Cigarette butts
Number of items
Half (50%, down from 52% in Wave 2) of the litter items counted were
cigarette butts. The number of cigarette butts that were counted reduced
substantially to 8,373 from 13,525 in Wave 2. This is above the Wave 3
national average number of cigarette butts counted (7,314 butts).
Of interest was the finding that 24 (down from 41) individual sites contained
100 cigarette butts or more 4,492, accounting for 54% of the total cigarette
butts.
The main site types to contain more than 100 cigarette butts were retail (6
sites accounting for 1,169 cigarette butts), highways (5 sites accounting for
1,169 cigarette butts), car park sites (4 sites accounting for 575 cigarette
butts), and beaches (3 sites accounting for 412 cigarette butts).
There were 3 sites that contained 300 cigarette butts or more accounting for
1,239 cigarette butts or 15% of all cigarette butts, one was a highway site
(402 butts), another a retail site (423 butts), and an industrial site (414
butts).
The proportion of cigarette butts as part of the litter streams across each
site varied. As the graph overleaf displays, shopping centre sites were
below the Monitor average, while all other sites recorded proportions above
the national Monitor average for Wave 3.

3.8 Glass Items
Number of items
Glass items again constituted just 2% of the litter stream in QLD (253
items), below the Monitor average (461 items).
The main glass item was:
• Other glass (103 items) (1% of the total number of litter items, as in
Wave 2)
Volume
The total volume of glass was 0.080 m3 (5%, compared to 4% of the total
volume in Wave 2) of the total litter stream. The most voluminous glass item
was clearly:
• Beer, less than 750ml, all colours of glass, 0.035 m3 (2% of the total
volume, unchanged from Wave 2)

3.9 Dispersion of Litter Across Site Types
Number of items
The litter was counted across differing land areas, designed to capture a
good representation of areas throughout the State.
Highways formed the major catchment sites of the total litter stream,
containing 33% of all litter items. The dispersion of litter amongst the varying
site types in descending order of contribution to the total litter stream, was
as follows:
• Highways (33%, compared to 42% in Wave 2)
• Industrial (16%, compared to 14% in Wave 2)
• Car Park (12%, compared to 11% in Wave 2)
• Retail (12%, compared to 9% in Wave 2)
• Residential (10%, compared to 9% in Wave 2)
• Recreational Park (7%, compared to 8% in Wave 2)
• Beach (7%, compared to 6% in Wave 2)
• Shopping Centre (3%, compared to 2% in Wave 2)

Residential, 10%
Beach, 7%
Industrial, 16%
Car Park, 12%
Shopping Centre, 3%Retail, 12%Recreational Park,
7%
Highway, 33%
Comparing the proportion of sites to the amount of litter that was identified
in each site, shows that highways disproportionately contain a significant
amount of the litter in the total litter stream (see graph overleaf). Residential,
- 62 -
despite it’s strong representation in the number of sites counted (17% or 26
sites), contained just 10% of the total litter counted. Shopping centres were
also under represented in the litter stream, despite covering 9% of the sites,
these sites attributed to 3% of the total litter stream. The significant change
between the two waves, is clearly in the decrease in litter found counted at
highway sites.

3.10 Volumes
More than half (55%, up from 53% in Wave 2) of the total volume of litter
was found in highway sites. Industrial sites accounted for 23% (compared to
27% in Wave 2) of the volume of litter and residential 9% (compared to 6%
in Wave 2) as the graph displays.

When viewing the proportion of the volume of litter, in comparison to the
number of litter items in the site types, highways and industrial sites are
more voluminous, while shopping centre, retail, car parks and recreational
parks were smaller voluminous sites, as can be seen in the graph below.

To enable meaningful comparisons with the other states in the following appendix, Tasmania,
The Northern Territory and The Australian Capital Territory have been almost doubled, i.e. 151
sites divided by 76 (the number of sites Tasmania had counted) totalling 1.987. It is then as if
each area had the 151 sites rather than the 76 counted.
Queensland had more than half of its drink containers counted at highways. Industrial were
also a significant catchment area for drink containers.
