Table 2.7: Disposal of Specialist Waste Streams
 Refuse Stream          Disposal Details
 REGULATED WASTE STREAMS
 Tyres                  Tyres are a problematic waste stream, defined as a Category 2 Regulated waste stream under the
                        Environmental Protection Regulation 2019. Tyres must be disposed of correctly, and only to a place
                        appropriately licensed to receive them.
                        It is expected tyre waste will be generated on an ongoing ad hoc basis. Tyres will be removed by the tyre
                        maintenance contractor with limited storage of tyres located on-site. The tyre maintenance contractor must
                        provide evidence of lawful transport and disposal to the site operator as requested and this clause should
                        form part of any maintenance contracts.
                        While tyres do not have specific storage requirements on site, any interim on-site storage arrangements must
                        comply with the Fire and Rescue Service Act 1990 and Public Health Act 2005 to address any potential fire or
                        mosquito breeding risk.
 Other Regulated        Regulated waste must not be placed in a bin or skip for disposal to landfill. Regulated waste must be handled
 Waste                  with due care, separated and securely stored for collection by a specialist waste contractor. Please refer to
  •    waste oils       local and QLD government websites for further information.
  •    solvents         When organising for the disposal of hazardous or regulated waste, site operators are responsible for
                        classifying it and ensuring that:
  •    coolant
                         • The transporter is appropriately licensed.
  •    caustic
       brake fluid       • The waste is being sent to a facility that can lawfully take it.
  •    batteries         • All collection receipts are kept.
                        Waste Oil
                        All containers must be drained of all residue oil before they can be recycled. Wherever possible, waste oils
                        should be recycled. Waste oils should be collected in a secure, clearly labelled drums or tanks that are stored
                        in an undercover and bunded area.
                        Solvents
                        Solvents are hazardous to the environment and are often flammable and volatile materials. Waste solvent is
                        primarily generated from cleaning equipment and parts. Solvents should be stored in tightly sealed containers
                        in an enclosed area of cabinet. Solvents must not enter the stormwater or sewerage system and should be
                        collected by a designated contractor.
                        Coolants
                        Improper disposal of used coolant or refrigerant, such as air conditioning refrigerant, can result in
                        contamination of soils, groundwater or stormwater and is hazardous to the environment and should not be
                        dumped illegally any water bodies. Coolants should be stored in drums and containers on a sealed, bunded
                        and undercover area.
                        Coolants should not be mixed with any other liquid wastes and should be collected and treated separately.
                        Batteries
                        Electric vehicles (EVs) contain large and powerful batteries which pose significant hazards to those not trained
                        in their maintenance. All EV battery maintenance is expected to occur offsite in a facility that specialises in this
                        work.
                        A small volume of batteries may be generated from office-based electronics. Batteries are highly volatile and
                        must be disposed of separately and never in the general waste or commingled recycling bins.
                        TTM recommends a disposal point is provided by site operators and located in a suitable internal space.
