Controlled waste category list - der.wa.gov.au

1 Controlled waste category list The Controlled waste category list arranges the Controlled wastes listed in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection ( Controlled waste ) Regulations 2004 into 15 broad waste groups and assigns a waste code to each waste type within the group. The waste codes are used by industry and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation for waste tracking and reporting purposes. category waste waste Type waste Examples Group Code A A100 waste resulting from waste from surface treatment of Plating & Heat the surface treatment metals and plastics Treatment of metals and plastics A110 waste from heat waste from heat treatment and treatment and tempering processes which use tempering processes cyanide which use cyanide A130 Inorganic cyanide Complex cyanides (inorganic).
