Consignors, transporters and receivers of tyre waste transported inside NSW weighing 200 kilograms or more, or consisting of 20 or more tyres in one load must track and report this waste to the EPA using the Integrated Waste Tracking Solution (IWTS).

Consignors, transporters and waste facilities transporting and accepting more than certain quantities of waste tyres or asbestos waste within NSW must track this waste.

Waste generated in the Metropolitan Levy Area must be tracked when transported out of NSW.

Tracking the transport and disposal of high-risk or hazardous waste minimises potential harm to the environment and human health. Waste tracking helps stamp out illegal dumping, prevents waste going to the wrong facility and stops unfair competition.

Characterising waste helps consignors determine whether waste needs to be tracked, ensures waste goes to a receiving facility that can lawfully accept it and guarantees waste is transported by a licensed transporter.

Waste consignors must determine if their hazardous waste must be tracked during transport and disposal. 

There are different regulations for tracking waste out of NSW or overseas than for tracking waste within NSW.

The EPA exempts certain types of waste from some or all tracking requirements under certain circumstances.

Waste producers or their authorised agents, waste transporters and receiving facilities each have their own responsibilities for tracking hazardous waste.
