    Used tyres

Queensland T140: check whether the catalogue covers whole tyres, large pieces or a separate local reporting threshold.

Used tyres of any kind, from cars to trucks & machinery. A tracked waste category on the Queensland list.

Is Queensland T140 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. T140 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 T140 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 T140 cover?

Discarded tyres fall here. The tyre description sets no quantity threshold for choosing this code. Local reporting quantities are a separate question about the movement.
