Solvents, oils & materials with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) above 2 mg/kg and up to 50 mg/kg.

Is Victoria M120 priority waste?

Yes. M120 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 M120 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria M120 cover?

Solvents, oils or other materials contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) above 2 mg/kg and up to 50 mg/kg go here. M100 also starts at 50 mg/kg, so they overlap there.

Is PCB waste Victoria M120 or M100?

CodeWhen it fits
M120The PCB concentration is above 2 mg/kg and up to 50 mg/kg.
M100The PCB concentration is 50 mg/kg or more.

At exactly 50 mg/kg, the M100 and M120 bands overlap. The regulations don't say which code wins at that boundary.

What does a Victoria M120 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.
