Western Australia T140: check whether the catalogue covers whole tyres, large pieces or a separate local reporting threshold.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA T140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. T140 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 T140 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 T140 cover?
Discarded tyres. The tyre description sets no quantity threshold for choosing the code. Local reporting quantities are a separate movement question.
