Contaminated soil
New South Wales N120: identify the controlled waste or other contaminant that makes the soil fit this entry.
ComplyOnSiteIs NSW N120 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N120 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 N120 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.
