Western Australia E130: use only when no more specific reactive-chemical entry fits.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA E130 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. E130 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 E130 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 E130 cover?
Highly reactive chemical waste falls here when none of Western Australia’s other chemical categories describes it. It is the catch-all entry for reactive chemicals.
