    Asbestos waste

SA operational entry N220 is included in the current WasteTracker scope.

Asbestos waste from fibrous insulation, sheeting & lagging that sheds hazardous fibres. It has its own N code.

Is South Australia N220 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This is the SA EPA operational description. A code can be in the operational list without being in the table of waste requiring tracking. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

N220 is in the SA table of 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 N220 cover?

Asbestos waste and discarded asbestos-containing material. The national reporting source says each state sets the boundary, and generally treats material containing asbestos fibres, soil included, as asbestos-containing. Victoria gives asbestos-bearing soil the N120 description.

Is asbestos waste South Australia N220 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
