Is Victoria M170 priority waste?

Yes. M170 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 M170 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria M170 cover?

Any congener of polychlorinated dibenzofuran goes here. The wording takes every chemical variant in the dibenzofuran group, not just named ones.

Is dibenzofuran waste Victoria M170?

CodeWhen it fits
M170The waste contains any polychlorinated dibenzofuran congener.

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 M170 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.
