Allowable Waste
Below is a list of the Waste that we understand will be allowed to be received at the proposed Tomerong Mega Tip. Firstly the April 2008 list then below that, the April 2008 list revised July 2009 http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resources/waste/09281classifywaste.pdf
Note that on the 15/06/10 that the DECCW approval withdrew 'biosolids' as allowable waste for this DA.

General solid waste (non-putrescible)
The following wastes have been pre-classified as general solid waste (non-putrescible):
• glass, plastic, rubber, plasterboard, ceramics, bricks, concrete or metal
• paper or cardboard
• household waste from municipal clean-up that does not contain food waste
• waste collected by, or on behalf of, local councils from street sweeping
• grit, sediment, litter and gross pollutants collected in, and removed from, stormwater
treatment devices and/or stormwater management systems that has been dewatered so that
it does not contain free liquids
• grit and screenings from potable water and water reticulation plants that has been
dewatered so that it does not contain free liquids
• garden waste
• wood waste
• waste contaminated with lead (including lead paint waste) from residential premises or
educational or child care institutions
• containers previously containing dangerous goods, as defined under the Australian Code
for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail, from which residues have been
removed by washing or vacuuming
• drained oil filters (mechanically crushed) and rags and oil-absorbent materials that only
contain non-volatile petroleum hydrocarbons and do not contain free liquids
• drained motor oil containers that do not contain free liquids
• non-putrescible vegetative waste from agriculture, silviculture or horticulture
• building cavity dust waste removed from residential premises or educational or child care
institutions, being waste that is packaged securely to prevent dust emissions and direct
contact
• synthetic fibre waste from materials such as fibreglass, polyesters and other plastics,
being waste that is packaged securely to prevent dust emissions, but excluding asbestos
waste which is a special waste
• virgin excavated natural material
• building and demolition waste
Waste Classification Guidelines
8 Part 1: Classifying waste (April 2008)
• asphalt waste, including asphalt resulting from road construction and waterproofing
works
• biosolids categorised as unrestricted use or as restricted use 1,2, or 3, in accordance with
the criteria set out in the Biosolids Guidelines (EPA 2000)
• cured concrete waste from a batch plant
• fully cured and set thermosetting polymers and fibre-reinforcing resins, glues, paints,
coatings and inks
• any mixture of the wastes referred to above.
In assessing whether waste has been pre-classified as general solid waste (non-putrescible),
the following definitions apply:
Building and demolition waste means unsegregated material (other than material containing
asbestos waste) that results from:
• the demolition, erection, construction, refurbishment or alteration of buildings other than:
chemical works, or
mineral processing works, or
container reconditioning works, or
waste treatment facilities, or
• the construction, repair or alteration of infrastructure development such as roads, tunnels,
sewage, water, electricity, telecommunications and airports,
and includes materials such as:
bricks, concrete, paper, plastics, glass, metal, and timber, including unsegregated timber, that
may contain timber treated with chemicals such as copper chrome arsenate (CCA), high
temperature creosote (HTC), pigmented emulsified creosote (PEC) and light organic solvent
preservative (LOSP).
Garden waste means waste that consists of branches, grass, leaves, plants, loppings, tree
trunks, tree stumps and similar materials, and includes any mixture of those materials.
Virgin excavated natural material means natural material:
• that has been excavated or quarried from areas that are not contaminated with
manufactured chemicals or process residues, as a result of industrial, commercial, mining
or agricultural activities, and
• that does not contain sulphidic ores or soils, and includes excavated natural material that
meets such criteria for virgin excavated natural material as may be approved for the time
being pursuant to an EPA gazettal notice.
Wood waste means sawdust, timber offcuts, wooden crates, wooden packaging, wooden
pallets, wood shavings and similar materials, and includes any mixture of those materials, but
does not include wood treated with chemicals such as copper chrome arsenate (CCA), high
temperature creosote (HTC), pigmented emulsified creosote (PEC) and light organic solvent
preservative (LOSP).
Additional wastes may be classified as general solid waste (non-putrescible) by the EPA from
time to time by a notice published in the NSW Government Gazette and on DECC’s website at
www.environment.nsw.gov.au/waste/wastetypes.htm
