ACT guide entry D150; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.

Controlled waste for cadmium & its compounds, a toxic heavy metal found in nickel-cadmium batteries & coatings.

Is ACT D150 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 D150 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 D150 cover?

Elemental cadmium and cadmium compounds. The entry covers the element as well as its compounds, whatever the compound or process.

Official wording: Responsibilities of controlled waste producers in the ACT
