Waste from tanneries that contains no chromium, such as hide & leather scraps. Chrome-tanned waste does not fit this entry.

Is Victoria K140 priority waste?

Yes. K140 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 K140 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria K140 cover?

Tannery waste goes here when it holds no chromium. That separates it from Western Australia’s D141 chromium-bearing tannery waste, and from any constituent classification that might also fit.

Is chrome-free tannery waste Victoria K140?

CodeWhen it fits
K140The waste came from tannery operations and holds no chromium.

Pick the code for the waste itself, not for a chemical in it. A chemical in soil or another material doesn't decide the description on the load record.

What does a Victoria K140 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.
