A110, Cyanide heat-treatment waste.
Western Australia
Cyanide heat-treatment waste
Western Australia A110: heat treatment or tempering must be the source; surface-treatment waste belongs under A100.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA A110 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. A110 is a WA controlled-waste category. Regulation 3 takes in industrial, commercial, medical, laboratory and sewage-treatment waste and leaves out domestic waste. It also excludes waste that a Class I, II or III landfill can lawfully accept, with set exceptions that include asbestos, tyres and clinical waste.
Where WA road tracking applies, enter A110 in the controlled-waste category field on the DWER tracking form. DWER issues the number. The authorised carrier or driver records collection and transport, and the receiving facility closes the record. Record the holder, amount, containment and destination. The WA load thresholds and exclusions still apply.
What does WA A110 cover?
Waste from heat treatment or tempering that uses cyanide or ends up containing it, as the list states. Surface-treatment cyanide waste is separate, under A100.

|---|---|
| A110 | The cyanide-bearing waste arose from heat treatment or tempering. |
| A100 | The cyanide waste arose from treating a metal or plastic surface. |
| A130 | The waste is classified by inorganic cyanide content rather than a named process. |
Landfill acceptance follows the acceptance criteria, not how the waste looks. A category number and a dangerous goods classification answer different questions.
