    Cadmium and cadmium compounds

NSW D150: within NSW or interstate; the listed hazardous-characteristic test still applies.

Cadmium metal & cadmium compounds, a toxic metal used in plating, pigments & nickel-cadmium batteries.

Is NSW D150 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. D150 describes waste that may need tracking. Part 4 tracking needs a matching Schedule 1 waste description and a Part 3 hazardous characteristic. That test is separate from the NSW disposal classification, and the code gives no disposal class. Part 4 covers local and interstate movements.

Where tracking applies, enter D150 in the waste-code field of the IWTS Movement, with the description, quantity, parties and the receiver's Movement Authorisation. The approved system issues the Movement reference. The NSW tracking exemptions still apply.

What does NSW D150 cover?

Elemental cadmium and cadmium compounds. The category takes the element as well as its compounds, whatever the named compound or process.
