Oil filters from engines & machinery after use. Pre-classified waste, reportable for transactions & transport.

Is Victoria J170 priority waste?

Yes. J170 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 J170 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria J170 cover?

Used oil filters fall here as a specific discarded item. The entry is narrower than waste oil or oil sludge because the waste is the filter after use.

Is a used oil filter Victoria J170?

CodeWhen it fits
J170The discarded item is a filter that has been used with oil.

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 J170 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.
