    Quarantine waste

NT 2013 table entry R150; confirm that the current system still accepts it before use.

NT controlled waste for quarantine waste. Material held back at ports & airports to stop pests & disease entering.

Is NT R150 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. The code is an administrative description, not the current statutory listed-waste test. NT licensing for listed-waste activities generally concerns commercial activity or services done for a fee. The waste, the activity and the licence conditions all matter.

Every controlled-waste movement into or out of the NT needs a consignment authorisation and Waste Transfer Certificate. Enter the accepted administrative code, with a description, in the certificate's waste-code field, and check the NT code currency and movement rules. The November 2024 guide makes online tracking within the NT voluntary, but licensed operators still keep records and report volumes under their licence conditions.

What does NT R150 cover?

Waste managed as quarantine waste under the NT list. The NT description names no narrower material, contaminant or treatment condition.
