    Thallium and thallium compounds

NSW D180: within NSW or interstate; the listed hazardous-characteristic test still applies.

Thallium metal & thallium compounds, a highly toxic metal once used in rat poison and in some electronics.

Is NSW D180 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. D180 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 D180 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 D180 cover?

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