Hazardous waste that was encapsulated, chemically fixed, solidified or polymerised. Treating it does not remove the waste category.

Is Victoria N160 priority waste?

Yes. N160 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 N160 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.

What does Victoria N160 cover?

Is solidified waste Victoria N160?

CodeWhen it fits
N160The waste has been encapsulated, chemically fixed, solidified or polymerised.

Name the waste itself before choosing a code for something in it. A chemical in soil or another material doesn't settle which description goes on the load record.

What does a Victoria N160 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 this 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 going to landfill, and soil that is priority waste, also needs the disposal category that applies.
