Is Victoria D290 priority waste?

Yes. D290 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 D290 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria D290 cover?

Barium compounds fall here, but barium sulphate does not. Being a barium compound is not enough if the material is the excluded sulphate.

Is barium waste Victoria D290?

CodeWhen it fits
D290The waste is a barium compound other than barium sulphate.

Describe the waste itself first, not a chemical inside it. A chemical in soil or another material doesn't by itself decide which description goes on the load record.

What does a Victoria D290 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.
