Victoria
Asbestos waste
N220 is pre classified; reportable for transactions; reportable for transport.
ComplyOnSiteIs Victoria N220 priority waste?
Yes. N220 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 N220 as the Schedule 5 waste code in the Waste Tracker record. The tracking exceptions and designation and household rules still apply.
What does Victoria N220 cover?
Discarded asbestos and asbestos-containing material. Victoria puts soil containing asbestos under N120, so this code is for asbestos waste that isn't classed as contaminated soil.

Is asbestos waste Victoria N220, N120 or N122?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| N220 | The material is asbestos waste under the state rules. |
| N120 | The asbestos is in soil assessed against Victoria’s contaminated-soil and fill limits. |
| N122 | The excavated material stays within the fill limit and is not otherwise asbestos waste. |
The physical material and the soil assessment decide between these entries. No single national asbestos-content threshold settles it.
What does a Victoria N220 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.
