Waste exchange

Can hazardous waste be listed on Waste Exchange?

No. WasteSpot Waste Exchange is intentionally limited to non-hazardous material categories.

Complete answer

The answer

Hazardous waste can require licensed carriers, specialist treatment, manifests, notifications and other controls that differ by jurisdiction. A public listing tool should not be used to bypass those requirements.

If a material may be hazardous or its classification is uncertain, obtain competent regulatory or technical advice and use the authorised waste-management route.

What to do

  • Do not list hazardous waste.
  • Do not guess the classification of an uncertain material.
  • Use licensed specialist channels where required.
