Waste left over from making, preparing or using organic solvents, where no item 37 to 39 entry fits.

Is Victoria G160 priority waste?

Yes. G160 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 G160 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria G160 cover?

Process waste from making, formulating or using organic solvents falls here when no more specific solvent entry fits. It covers residues of solvent work, not every discarded solvent.

Is solvent process waste Victoria G160?

CodeWhen it fits
G160The waste came from making, formulating or using organic solvents and no more specific entry fits.

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 G160 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.
