Toluene waste: 4 codes.
Toluene waste
See toluene guidance for use history and mixture composition. HOCs means halogenated organic compounds. Check solvent concentration rules first.
Restricted wasteCalifornia restricted wastes
Restricted halogenated-organic liquid
Toluene waste has at least 1,000 mg/L total halogenated organic compounds in liquid form

ComplyOnSiteWhich California code fits toluene waste?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 741 | Total HOC concentration in liquid |
| 213 | Toluene was used as solvent, and the blend contains only carbon and hydrogen |
| 214 | The toluene blend fits none of the specific solvent classes |
| 331 | Off-specification, aged or surplus toluene that has not been used as solvent |
The classification and shipping rules still apply.
What changes the California toluene waste route?
Toluene on its own is a hydrocarbon solvent. If other chemicals are present, record each component and don't assign a class from the toluene name alone.
Why does toluene use history matter for federal codes?
A spent-solvent listing depends on how the solvent was used. A discarded-product listing depends on the product and its discarded form. A California hydrocarbon-solvent code doesn't prove either federal listing.
