Queensland M250: surfactants reduce surface tension; check whether the entry requires mainly organic constituents.
ComplyOnSiteIs Queensland M250 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M250 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 M250 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 M250 cover?
Surfactants made mainly of organic constituents, whether or not metals or other inorganic materials are also present.
- Official wording
- surface active agents (surfactants) containing principally organic constituents, whether or not also containing metals and other inorganic materials
