    Organic cyanides and nitriles

Tasmania M210: this entry joins organic cyanides with nitriles; inorganic cyanides belong under A130.

Organic cyanide wastes, such as nitriles, which release toxic cyanide in the body. Listed as a controlled waste in Tasmania.

Is Tasmania M210 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 M210 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 M210 cover?

Organic cyanides and nitriles go here. Inorganic cyanides are outside it and use A130.

Is nitrile waste Tasmania M210 or A130?

CodeWhen it fits
M210The waste contains an organic cyanide or nitrile.
A130The cyanide is inorganic rather than organic.
