  • National reporting

    Photographic chemical waste

T120 is a 2025 reporting category; choose a state code for a movement.

Waste from making, mixing & using photographic chemicals & processing materials. A national reporting category added in 2025.

Is National T120 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. T120 is a DCCEEW category for hazardous-waste reporting. It groups national data and does not make every material with that description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a real load.

Enter T120 in the national waste-data category field when you report under that standard. It is not a national transport certificate. A movement needs the code and record accepted where it starts, plus any destination consignment authorisation an interstate controlled load needs. Use separate interstate movement controls for that, because a reporting code gives no state movement classification.

What does National T120 cover?

Waste from making, formulating or using photographic chemicals and processing materials. Both the chemicals and the materials used to process photographs are included.
