SA operational entry D120 is included in the current WasteTracker scope.
ComplyOnSiteIs South Australia D120 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. This is the SA EPA operational description. A code can be on the operational list without being in the table of waste that needs tracking. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.
D120 is in the SA table of waste that needs tracking, within the state or interstate. Enter it with the SA description on the WasteTracker transport certificate, against a matching consignment authorisation. The consignor, transporter and receiver each complete their own part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.
What does South Australia D120 cover?
Mercury metal and mercury compounds go here. The entry takes the element as well as its compounds, whatever the compound or process.
