Listed withOrganic waste codesPriority waste codes VictoriaReportable priority waste codes Victoria

Waste from scouring raw wool, the industrial wash that removes grease & dirt from fleece before it is spun into yarn.

Is Victoria K190 priority waste?

Yes. K190 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 K190 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria K190 cover?

Effluent, sludge and other residue from cleaning wool go here. The wool-scouring process separates it from animal-processing waste and from unrelated grease or wastewater.

Is wool-scouring waste Victoria K190?

CodeWhen it fits
K190The waste came from scouring wool.

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 K190 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.
