Australian Capital Territory
Tannery waste from leather processing
ACT guide entry K140; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT K140 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 K140 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 K140 cover?
Waste from tannery and leather processing falls here, including leather dust, ash, sludge and flour. Unlike the separate Victorian and Western Australian entries, the ACT doesn't say the waste must be free of chromium.
