Queensland M160: use only where no other organohalogen code on the same list fits.

Organohalogen compounds not named in another Queensland entry. A tracked waste category on the Queensland list.

Is Queensland M160 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. M160 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 M160 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 M160 cover?

Organohalogen compounds with no other entry in this list. It is a catch-all category, used once Queensland's more specific organohalogen codes are ruled out.
