Which wastes belong in soil and contaminated solid waste codes?
The N-group takes in several sources with very different boundaries. Victorian fill and acid sulfate soil are separate from contaminated soil, and asbestos materials are separate from soil containing asbestos.
What decides the entry in soil and contaminated solid waste codes?
A contaminated drum, filter cake, fire debris and treatment residue each have their own description where listed. Identify the residue or constituent, then check any state container size or soil threshold.
Which exclusions and routes differ for soil and contaminated solid waste codes?
The shared classification and movement limits for soil and contaminated solid 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 soil and contaminated solid waste codes?
Separate soil, asbestos, containers, ash and treatment residues. Then apply the state’s testing, approval and receiving route to each stream.
