Permit to Transport Prescribed Waste - Victoria

Description

You will require this permit if you intend to transport prescribed waste. Prescribed wastes include potentially hazardous wastes, but also wastes that may affect amenity (such as the impact of odour).

You must hold a permit for each vehicle you intend to carry prescribed waste, and will need to complete one application form per vehicle. The Agency may inspect your vehicle's suitability for transporting prescribed waste after your application has been assessed.
