Yes. H170 is pre-classified priority waste, so no mirror assessment decides its Schedule 5 status. Transactions and transport are both reportable.

Is wood preservative waste Victoria H170?

CodeWhen it fits
H170The waste came from making, formulating or using a wood-preserving chemical.

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 H170 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.
