Strong-smelling organic chemicals
New South Wales M260: mercaptans and acrylates are examples of the strong-smelling organic chemicals covered.
ComplyOnSiteIs NSW M260 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M260 marks a waste that may need tracking. Tracking under Part 4 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 M260 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. NSW tracking exemptions still apply.
What does NSW M260 cover?
Strong-smelling organic chemicals, including mercaptans and acrylates. These are examples, so the code isn't limited to those 2 groups.
