Solvent-based waste from paints, lacquers, varnish, inks, dyes & pigments. Aqueous waste is a separate entry.

Is Victoria F120 priority waste?

Yes. F120 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 F120 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria F120 cover?

Solvent-based waste from making, formulating or using paint, lacquer, varnish, ink, dye or pigment falls here. Water-based waste from the same products uses F100 in the lists that make the split.

Is solvent-based paint and ink waste Victoria F120?

CodeWhen it fits
F120The coating-process waste is solvent-based, not water-based.
F100The paint, ink or dye process waste is water-based.

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 F120 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.
