Electroplating wastewater sludge
Use F006 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal F006 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F006 is the listing for electroplating wastewater sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test result must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.
What does Federal F006 cover?
Sludge from treating electroplating wastewater. It leaves out sludge from sulphuric-acid anodizing of aluminum alone, specified tin, zinc, aluminum or aluminum-zinc plating on carbon steel, the cleaning or stripping that goes with it, and chemical etching or milling of aluminum.
- Official wording
- Wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations except for the following processes: (1) sulphuric acid anodizing of aluminum; (2) tin plating on carbon steel; (3) zinc plating (on a segregated basis) on carbon steel; (4) aluminum or aluminum zinc plating on carbon steel; (5) cleaning or stripping associated with tin, zinc or aluminum plating on carbon steel; and (6) chemical etching and milling of aluminum.

Is electroplating wastewater sludge always Federal F006?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| F006 | The sludge came from electroplating wastewater and none of F006's 6 excluded processes applies. |
Decide from the material's origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still govern.
