You will need this authorisation if you intend to transport hazardous waste to a waste facility in New South Wales. Among other details, a consignment authorisation must include the following information:
- the waste form
- the waste code
- the consignor
- the receiving facility.
Consignment authorisations can be created using an online waste tracking system. A consignment authorisation may be issued by either a receiving facility or by the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority.
If a waste consignor intends on transporting waste out of New South Wales to a waste facility in another state, they cannot generate a consignment authority using the online waste tracking system and must contact the relevant environment authority in that state to obtain a consignment authorisation.
