    Inorganic cyanides

Queensland A130: use for inorganic cyanide itself, rather than a cyanide-bearing process waste.

Inorganic cyanide itself, not process waste that merely contains it. A tracked waste category on the Queensland list.

Is Queensland A130 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. A130 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. Tracking applies while the commercial or industrial waste is regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route before you decide whether a movement is trackable. This code has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.

For a tracked load, enter A130 as the waste code on the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator supplies Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it by the approved online, bulk-upload or numbered-paper route. The Queensland exclusions still apply.

What does Queensland A130 cover?

Inorganic cyanides, when the waste is classified by that chemical content and not by a more specific cyanide-using process entry. It doesn't take every cyanide-bearing process waste.

Are inorganic cyanides Queensland A130?

CodeWhen it fits
A130The waste contains an inorganic cyanide and no listed cyanide process category better describes its origin.

In Queensland's tracking list an asterisk sets precedence when several descriptions fit. It is not an EWC hazardous-waste marker. A resource leaves the waste regime only once it meets its end-of-waste code or approval conditions.

Which wastes take Queensland A130?
