Rick Ralph CEO of Waste Recycling Industry Queensland
Both councils declined to comment on Ipswich City Council's decision.
This follows Ipswich City Council's decision to say goodbye to its waste recycling programs due to the cost involved with "the rising level of contaminated or non-recyclable rubbish in yellow bins".
"We need to ensure we protect our ratepayers from the ongoing cost increases because they're not going to go down in recycling, they're going to go up at a much larger rate than any other inflation". A city council in Australia is now set to be the first Down Under to remove the mounting stockpiles of recyclable commodities by burying them.
Mr Antoniolli said the council's predicament only arose because its waste collection contract was up for renewal.
That deal would only have been possible if the contamination rate dropped below 25%.

Ipswich Mayor Andrew Antoniolli has reversed his decision to abandon curbside recycling.
"This is an issue of global significance, and our position is strong". It is up to our community to make sure only recyclables are going into that yellow-lid bin. "At present there are quite simply too many pizza boxes, plastic bags, burger wrappers and other items not fit for recycling", Cr Antoniolli said in an open letter to the people of Ipswich. "This is a complex series of issues which includes waste contamination, cost, and a vision to the future for our city".
"People are reading about it, they're learning about it, and they have a lack of faith in how recycling is going to be handled", he said.
"Australia needs a long term national solution to recycling".
Local Government Association of Queensland, the privately owned body that lobbies on behalf of Queensland councils, boss Greg Hallam suggested the cash be put towards the construction of "five or six state-of-the-art zero waste, waste-to energy plants in Queensland".
