ACT guide entry D180; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT D180 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 D180 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 D180 cover?
Elemental thallium and thallium compounds. The entry covers the element as well as its compounds, whatever the compound or process.

Is thallium waste always ACT D180?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D180 | The waste holds thallium metal or a thallium compound on the ACT list. |
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.
Which wastes take ACT D180?
| Waste | When it’s D180 |
|---|---|
| Thallium waste | Analysis or process knowledge confirms thallium in the discarded material. |
