    Strong-smelling organic chemicals

South Australia M260: mercaptans and acrylates are examples of the strong-smelling organic chemicals covered.

Odorous organic chemicals in South Australia, including mercaptans & acrylates. On South Australia's operational list.

Is South Australia M260 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.

M260 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.
