    Used tyres

Tasmania T140: check whether the catalogue covers whole tyres, large pieces or a separate local reporting threshold.

Used tyres, worn-out or scrap tyres from cars, trucks and machinery, whole or shredded. Large machinery tyres are included.

Is Tasmania T140 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 some controlled wastes of its own, so read the category and the local rules together.

Put T140 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. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't give the receiving facility that.

What does Tasmania T140 cover?

Discarded tyres. The tyre description sets no minimum quantity for choosing this code. Local reporting quantities are a separate question about moving the load.
