Tannery waste from leather processing
K140 is a 2025 reporting category; choose a state code for a movement.
ComplyOnSiteIs National K140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. K140 is a DCCEEW reporting category that groups waste data nationally. It doesn't make every material with this description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a real load.
Enter K140 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It isn't a transport certificate. A movement needs the code and record accepted where it starts, plus any required destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load. Apply separate interstate movement controls, because a reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National K140 cover?
Waste from tanneries and leather processing goes here, including leather dust, ash, sludge and flour. Unlike the separate Victorian and Western Australian pair, these records don't say chromium must be absent.
