Is Victoria D120 priority waste?

Yes. D120 is pre-classified priority waste, so no mirror assessment decides its Schedule 5 status. Transactions and transport are both reportable.

Where the duty applies, enter D120 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria D120 cover?

Mercury metal and mercury compounds. The entry takes the element as well as its compounds, whatever the compound or process.

Is mercury waste Victoria D120 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
D120The waste contains mercury metal or a mercury compound on Victoria's list.

Identify the waste itself before picking a code for a constituent. A chemical in soil or another material doesn't settle which description goes on the load record.

What does a Victoria D120 load need before it moves?

For a reportable transaction, the producer creates the Waste Tracker record before dispatch. A transporter or accredited consigner can do it for the producer, who stays accountable and keeps a copy. Arrange the transporter and receiving site first.

Record the code, an accurate description, form, amount, packages, treatment, industry, dispatch date and the parties involved. Add dangerous goods details where they apply. The driver records collection and delivery, and the receiver records receipt. Priority waste sent to landfill, and soil that is priority waste, also need the disposal category that applies.
