ComplyOnSiteWhich wastes belong in acid and alkaline waste codes?
Victoria’s acid-solution entry covers pH 4 or less and its alkaline-solution entry covers pH 10 or more. Don’t carry those limits to another catalogue just because B100 or C100 looks the same.
What decides the entry in acid and alkaline waste codes?
An acid or alkaline process bath can also hold metals, cyanides or other controlled substances. Characterise the mixture, then apply the state’s classification and precedence rules.
Which exclusions and routes differ for acid and alkaline waste codes?
The shared classification and movement limits for acid and alkaline waste codes are on the Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory pages.
What do you do after choosing from acid and alkaline waste codes?
Record the pH, the process and any controlled constituents. Then pick the state’s acid or alkaline entry and an authorised treatment route.
