How can I dispose of equipment containing PCB material?
A. PCBs are classified as a regulated waste under the Environmental Protection Regulation 1998 and as such, the department requires that companies that transport, store or dispose of PCBs hold an environmental authority for this activity. Information about licensed operators can be obtained by contacting the department on 1800 501 087. Material containing PCBs are listed as trackable wastes in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Regulation 2000 and so the tracking provisions would also apply.
