Western Australia A130: use for inorganic cyanide itself, rather than a cyanide-bearing process waste.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA A130 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. A130 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 A130 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 A130 cover?
Inorganic cyanides, when the waste is classed by that chemical content and not by a more specific cyanide process entry. It doesn't take every cyanide-bearing process waste.
