Western Australia
Industrial waste-treatment residue
Western Australia N205: the residue must come from an industrial waste treatment or disposal operation.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA N205 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N205 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 N205 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 N205 cover?
Residue from an industrial waste treatment plant. The code is tied to that treatment source, not to every residue an industrial business makes.
