Stripped paint debris with lead is D220. Leftover lead paint product or process residue is F100 paint, ink & dye waste.

Which waste code covers lead paint debris?

Lead-bearing stripping flakes, blasting grit and renovation debris need the lead or lead-compound description that applies, such as D220 where listed. F100, or Victoria’s F120 for solvent-based paint, is a candidate only where the paint-waste description fits the actual process and material. Don’t call contaminated rubble leftover paint.

Can lead paint waste test out of tracking?

A Queensland test-out needs current results for every attribute and substance that applies, not only lead. NSW lead disposal thresholds set the disposal class through its full assessment procedure. They don’t automatically remove tracking characteristics. Keep samples representative of the whole load.

Which exclusions or special routes apply to lead paint waste codes?

New South Wales. NSW gives lead-contaminated waste from child care institutions, educational institutions or residential premises, including discarded lead paint, the pre-classification general solid waste (non-putrescible). Lead paint waste from other premises is pre-classified hazardous. Apply these pre-classifications before testing. Where chemical assessment is needed for lead in solid waste, the Waste Classification Guidelines give CT1 100 and CT2 400 mg/kg. With leach testing, SCC1 1,500 and SCC2 6,000 mg/kg pair with TCLP1 5 and TCLP2 20 mg/L. Apply the full procedure, other contaminants and pre-classifications. These disposal-class limits don’t automatically exempt a load from the Part 3 tracking-characteristic test.

The shared classification and movement limits for lead paint 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 next with lead paint waste codes?

For lead-paint waste, keep the site type, lead results and physical form with the classification. Then use the lead, paint or disposal route those facts support.
