Western Australia T100: new, unidentified or effects-unknown chemicals from research or teaching can fall here.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA T100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. T100 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 T100 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 T100 cover?
Chemicals discarded by research, development or teaching. The source activity decides it, and the code also takes new, unidentified or effects-unknown chemicals.
