Tannery waste from leather processing
Queensland K140 has no marked precedence when several descriptions fit.
ComplyOnSiteIs Queensland K140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. K140 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. Tracking applies while the commercial or industrial waste stays regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route before treating a movement as trackable. This code has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.
For a tracked load, enter K140 as the waste code on the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator completes Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it through an approved online, bulk-upload or numbered-paper route. The Queensland exclusions still apply.
What does Queensland K140 cover?
Waste from tanneries and leather processing falls here, including leather dust, ash, sludge and flour. Queensland's entry doesn't say the waste must be chromium-free, unlike the separate Victorian and Western Australian pair.
