Non-toxic salts
WA category D300; load type and road-transport rules decide whether a tracking form follows.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA D300 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. D300 is a WA controlled-waste category. Regulation 3 covers industrial, commercial, medical, laboratory and sewage-treatment waste. Domestic waste is outside it. Waste that a Class I, II or III landfill can lawfully accept is excluded, apart from specified exceptions such as asbestos, tyres and clinical waste.
For a tracked load, enter D300 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 D300 cover?
Non-toxic salt waste falls here. Victoria names sodium chloride and calcium chloride as examples. The other lists keep the general category and name no individual salts.
