    Explosive waste

Queensland E120: use only where another explosives law does not already govern the material.

Explosive waste in Queensland that sits outside the Explosives Act 1999. Explosives already under that Act do not belong here.

Is Queensland E120 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. E120 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. A load is tracked while the commercial or industrial waste stays regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route first, as they decide whether a movement is trackable. E120 has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.

For a tracked load, enter E120 in the waste-code field of the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator fills in Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it online, by bulk upload or on numbered paper, whichever route is approved. The Queensland exclusions still apply.

What does Queensland E120 cover?

Explosive waste falls here when the separate explosives legislation doesn't govern it. That carve-out is part of the entry.
