Sewage sludge and residue
Queensland K130: this label varies by catalogue: check sewage sludge, septic material and reticulated-sewer boundaries.
ComplyOnSiteIs Queensland K130 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. K130 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. K130 has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.
For a tracked load, enter K130 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 K130 cover?
Sewage sludge and residues fall here. The Queensland and Tasmanian descriptions also include nightsoil, septic-tank sludge and sludge from an on-site wastewater management system, which goes beyond reticulated sewerage.

Is septic tank sludge Queensland K130?

|---|---|
| K130 | The waste is sewage sludge, sewage residue or sludge from an on-site wastewater system. |
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.
