Under clauses 76 and 79 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2014, waste consignors, transporters, and receivers must provide information to the EPA:
- when consigning, transporting or accepting tyres with a total weight of 200 kilograms or more, or 20 or more tyres, in any single load; or
- when consigning, transporting or accepting 100 kilograms or more of asbestos waste, or 10 square metres or more of waste asbestos sheeting, in any single load.
To meet the clause 76 and 79 requirements, you must use the IWTS unless otherwise specified or permitted (see Asbestos and Waste Tyre Guidelines). The requirements under clauses 76 and 79 apply to the transport of waste tyres and asbestos within NSW only.
The Asbestos and Waste Tyres Guidelines (PDF 255KB) (the Guidelines) contain legal requirements that consignors, transporters, and receivers of waste tyres and asbestos waste must meet in addition to their obligations under the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2014.
The Guidelines include general and specific requirements, including on the use of the IWTS to report on the location and movement of waste tyres and asbestos waste.
If transporting waste tyres or asbestos interstate, tracking requirements for ‘trackable’ (hazardous) waste apply.
