Cytotoxic waste
South Australia R130: cytotoxic means harmful to cells; keep this stream separate from general medicines.
ComplyOnSiteIs South Australia R130 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.
R130 is not in the SA tracking table, so being in the operational code list doesn't by itself require a WasteTracker certificate. Where SA tracking is required, enter R130 with the SA description on the certificate. Read the interstate controlled-waste requirements separately when the load crosses a border, and apply the SA tracking exemptions.
What does South Australia R130 cover?
Waste containing substances that harm cells. That sets it apart from general pharmaceutical or clinical waste, even when both come from healthcare.
