    Alkaline liquids and solid alkalis

Queensland C100: the material may be an alkaline liquid or an alkali in solid form.

Alkaline liquids, or alkalis as solids such as flakes & pellets. A tracked waste category on the Queensland list.

Is Queensland C100 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. C100 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 C100 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 C100 cover?

Basic or alkaline solutions and bases or alkalis in solid form. The shared entry sets no universal pH boundary. Victoria has a separate C100 pair with its own threshold and examples.

Is alkaline waste Queensland C100 or B100?

CodeWhen it fits
C100The waste is an alkaline solution or an alkali in solid form.
B100The waste is acidic or a solid acid, not alkaline.

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.
