Tasmania G160: the manufacture, preparation or use of organic solvents must be the source.
ComplyOnSiteIs Tasmania G160 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, which is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.
Put G160 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility. Follow the Tasmanian handling and transport rules.
What does Tasmania G160 cover?
Process waste from making, formulating or using organic solvents goes here when no more specific solvent entry fits. It covers the residues of that work, not every discarded solvent.
