ComplyOnSiteIs Queensland J120 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. J120 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. J120 has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.
For a tracked load, enter J120 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 J120 cover?
Waste oil mixed or emulsified with water falls here, and so do mixtures of water and other hydrocarbons. The water is what sets it apart from a waste-oil entry that doesn't mention water.

Is oil-and-water waste Queensland J120 or J100?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| J120 | Oil or another hydrocarbon is mixed or emulsified with water. |
| J100 | The waste is mineral oil that matches the J100 description. |
Where several descriptions fit, an asterisk in Queensland's tracking list decides which takes precedence. It is not an EWC hazardous-waste marker. A resource must meet its end-of-waste code or approval conditions before it leaves the waste regime.
