What is Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous waste includes materials that are flammable, toxic, reactive, corrosive, or infectious, posing serious risks to human health and the environment if not managed properly. In Victoria, hazardous waste is also known as prescribed industrial waste and must be transported, treated, and disposed of by licensed operators only, in line with EPA regulations.

Prescribed industrial waste can be solid, liquid or gas, including, industrial chemicals, solvents, pesticides, contaminated liquids and soil, paints, oils, asbestos and laboratory waste.
