    Wood-preservative chemical waste

SA operational entry H170 is included in the current WasteTracker scope.

Waste wood-preserving chemicals in South Australia. On South Australia's operational list.

Is South Australia H170 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. The SA EPA operational code list and its table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be on one and not the other. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

H170 is in the SA table for waste requiring 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 H170 cover?

Process waste from making, formulating or using wood-preserving chemicals goes here. It follows the activity and the product, so a waste item made of treated timber doesn't fit.

Is wood-preservative waste South Australia H170?

CodeWhen it fits
H170The waste arose while making, formulating or using a wood-preserving chemical.

Use the SA EPA operational entry for an SA load. The separate interstate Policy description is kept where its wording differs, but it doesn't replace the operational table or settle tracking on its own.
