Tannery waste from leather processing
NSW K140: interstate only; the listed hazardous-characteristic test still applies.
ComplyOnSiteIs NSW K140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. K140 marks waste that may need tracking. Part 4 requires a matching Schedule 1 waste description and a Part 3 hazardous characteristic. That is a tracking test, not the NSW disposal classification, and the code gives no disposal class. Part 4 covers local and interstate movements.
Where Part 4 tracking applies, enter K140 in the waste-code field of the IWTS Movement, with the description, quantity, parties and the receiver's applicable Movement Authorisation. The approved system issues the Movement reference. The NSW tracking exemptions still apply.
What does NSW K140 cover?
Waste from tannery and leather processing, including leather dust, ash, sludge and flour. Unlike the Victorian and Western Australian pair, the NSW entry doesn't say chromium must be absent.
