"Beautiful Waste" is a single released by Australian folk rock group, The Triffids in February 1984.[1][2] It was not included on any of the band's studio albums nor extended plays, it was first compiled on Australian Melodrama (1994). The B-side, "Property Is Condemned", was included on the 1984 EP Raining Pleasure. A film clip was made for "Beautiful Waste". Its name was adapted for a 2008 posthumous compilation of mid-1980s non-album tracks, Beautiful Waste and Other Songs.

In May 2008 Youth Group performed a cover version of "Beautiful Waste" on national radio station Triple J's "Like a Version" segment.[3] Youth Group's Toby Martin had previously filled in as one of the guest vocalists for a reformed The Triffids, at the Sydney Festival[4] performances earlier in that year.[5]
