    Other industrial waste

NT 2013 table entry Z120; confirm that the current system still accepts it before use.

NT controlled waste for industrial waste not otherwise specified. A catch-all for process waste with no code of its own.

Is NT Z120 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 Z120 cover?

Industrial waste with no more specific NT waste code. NOS makes this a residual category, used only where no more specific industrial-waste code fits.

Is other industrial waste NT Z120?

CodeWhen it fits
Z120The industrial waste has no more specific entry in the NT table.

The older table helps identify a description. It doesn't show what the portal accepts today or what an operator's licence allows, so get the movement approval before dispatch.
