Is Victoria M160 priority waste?

Yes. M160 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 M160 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria M160 cover?

Organohalogen compounds not named elsewhere in this table go here. It is the leftover organohalogen category, used once Victoria’s more specific organohalogen codes are ruled out.

Is organohalogen waste Victoria M160?

CodeWhen it fits
M160The compound is organohalogen and no more specific entry in Victoria’s list fits.

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 M160 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.
