Controlled waste codes. Hazardous waste groups with their own codes, from acids & metals to oils & clinical waste.

Which wastes belong in controlled waste codes?

The NEPM defines controlled waste by a listed waste category plus a listed characteristic, subject to exclusions and exemptions. A listed waste is presumed to have a listed characteristic unless the destination agency is satisfied otherwise. State lists and administrative codes set up different local arrangements.

What decides the entry in controlled waste codes?

WA’s list includes entries marked as not currently needing a tracking form. ACT’s interstate movement procedure differs from its local approvals. Settle the origin and destination first, then decide which document travels with the load.

Which exclusions and routes differ for controlled waste codes?

The shared classification and movement limits for controlled 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 controlled waste codes?

For an interstate controlled-waste load, establish the category and hazardous characteristic, get destination approval, and use the movement certificate that the affected states and territories accept.
