    Tannery waste from leather processing

SA operational entry K140 is included in the current WasteTracker scope.

Tannery waste in South Australia, including leather dust, ash, sludge & flour. On South Australia's operational list.

Is South Australia K140 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.

K140 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 K140 cover?

Waste from tanneries and leather processing goes here, including leather dust, ash, sludge and flour. The separate Victorian and Western Australian pair say chromium must be absent. These records don't.
