Alkaline liquids and solid alkalis
Australian Capital Territory C100: the material may be an alkaline liquid or an alkali in solid form.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT C100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For ACT interstate controls, the waste must match a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and have a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, and the NEPM itself doesn't print these A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, put C100 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver complete their parts. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and any dangerous goods details. The ACT movement exclusions still apply.
What does ACT C100 cover?
Alkaline solutions and bases or alkalis in solid form. The shared entry gives no single pH limit. Victoria has a separate C100 pair with its own threshold and examples.

Are alkaline liquids and solid alkalis always ACT C100?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| C100 | The waste is an alkaline solution or an alkali in solid form. |
| B100 | The waste is acidic or a solid acid, not alkaline. |
Use the ACT list's entry for an ACT movement record. A national reporting category with the same number serves a different purpose and doesn't create the ACT movement duty.
