    South Australia interstate Policy: tannery waste from leather processing

Policy entry K140: use for interstate controlled-waste policy, not as the local operational list.

Tannery waste such as leather dust, ash, sludge & flours from turning raw hides into leather.

Is SA interstate policy K140 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This description comes from South Australia's interstate controlled-waste Policy, which is kept apart from the current SA EPA operational table. Whether a waste is controlled also depends on the hazardous-characteristic test and the movement rules.

For a controlled border movement in SA WasteTracker, enter the operational code in the waste-code field of the transport certificate, with the SA description, against the matching consignment authorisation. The operational entry sets the SA tracking-table position. This Policy entry doesn't set local tracking by itself. The SA approval and record requirements apply.

What does SA interstate policy K140 cover?

Waste from tannery and leather-processing operations, including leather dust, ash, sludge and flour. Unlike the separate Victorian and Western Australian pair, it doesn't require the waste to be free of chromium.
