    Lead and lead compounds

ACT guide entry D220; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.

Controlled waste for lead & its compounds, a toxic heavy metal in batteries, lead paint & flashing.

Is ACT D220 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. ACT interstate controls apply when the waste matches a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and has a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, because the NEPM doesn't print A100-style numbers.

For a controlled border movement, enter D220 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their part. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and dangerous goods details. ACT movement exclusions still apply.

What does ACT D220 cover?

Lead metal and lead compounds both fall here, whichever compound or process they come from.

Is lead waste always ACT D220?

CodeWhen it fits

Use the ACT entry for an ACT movement record. A national reporting category with the same number is a different thing and doesn't set the ACT movement duty.
