G150, Halogenated organic solvents.
Western Australia
Halogenated organic solvents
Western Australia G150: use only when no more specific halogenated-solvent entry fits.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA G150 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. G150 is a WA controlled-waste category. Regulation 3 covers industrial, commercial, medical, laboratory and sewage-treatment waste, but not domestic waste. Waste lawfully accepted at a Class I, II or III landfill is excluded, except for specified items including asbestos, tyres and clinical waste.
For a tracked load, enter G150 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. Road tracking in WA follows the WA load thresholds and exclusions.
What does WA G150 cover?
Halogenated organic solvents fall here. Non-halogenated solvents go under G110. WA marks G150 as the halogenated-solvent entry for material not otherwise specified.
