K100, Animal-processing effluent and residue.

  • Australian Capital Territory

    Animal-processing effluent and residue

ACT guide entry K100; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.

Controlled waste from slaughterhouses & from poultry & fish processing, including blood, offal washings & effluent.

Is ACT K100 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 K100 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 K100 cover?

Effluent and residues from animal processing fall here, including abattoir, poultry and fish processing waste. The code follows the source, takes liquids and residues, and sets no concentration limit.

Is animal processing waste always ACT K100?

CodeWhen it fits
