Strong-smelling organic chemicals
Queensland M260: mercaptans and acrylates are examples of the strong-smelling organic chemicals covered.
ComplyOnSiteIs Queensland M260 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M260 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 M260 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 M260 cover?
Strong-smelling organic chemicals, including acrylates and mercaptans. These are examples only, so the code isn't limited to those groups.
