South Australia
Discarded medicines and pharmaceuticals
SA operational entry R120 is included in the current WasteTracker scope.
ComplyOnSiteIs South Australia R120 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. This is the SA EPA operational description. The operational code list and the table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be in the first and not the second. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.
R120 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 part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.
What does South Australia R120 cover?
Discarded medicines, drugs and pharmaceutical products. It covers the product itself being thrown away, not waste from making it.
