D310, Boron compounds.

  • Australian Capital Territory

    Boron compounds

ACT guide entry D310; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.

Controlled waste for boron compounds, such as borax & boric acid from cleaning products, fertilisers & glass.

Is ACT D310 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 D310 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 D310 cover?

Boron compounds fall here. It doesn't matter which boron compound it is, what process made it or what form it takes.

Is boron compound waste always ACT D310?
