    Cadmium and cadmium compounds

Tasmania publishes D150 in its controlled-waste list; the characteristic test remains relevant.

Wastes holding the toxic metal or its compounds, found in nickel-cadmium batteries, plating baths & pigments.

Is Tasmania D150 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, not just the waste description. The characteristic is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.

Where controlled waste needs movement documentation, enter D150 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. The Tasmanian handling and transport rules apply.

A controlled load coming in from another state needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation. Another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility.

What does Tasmania D150 cover?

Cadmium metal and cadmium compounds fall here. The entry takes the element as well as its compounds, not just one named compound or process.
