Contaminated containers and drums
WA category N100; load type and road-transport rules decide whether a tracking form follows.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA N100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N100 is a WA controlled-waste category. Regulation 3 covers industrial, commercial, medical, laboratory and sewage-treatment waste, but not domestic waste. Waste that a Class I, II or III landfill can lawfully accept is excluded, with exceptions such as asbestos, tyres and clinical waste.
For a tracked load, enter N100 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 set which loads are tracked.
What does WA N100 cover?
Drums and other containers contaminated by controlled-waste residue. The residue must come from a substance on Western Australia’s list. A clean container is outside the code.
