    Spent cyanide stripping and cleaning baths

Use F009 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Spent stripping & cleaning bath solutions from metal plating that use cyanide. Stream and source must both match.

Is Federal F009 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F009 lists spent cyanide stripping and cleaning baths. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal F009 cover?

This is the discarded stripping or cleaning liquid from an electroplating operation that used cyanide. Plating-bath sludge and heat-treatment waste are other streams.

Official wording
Spent stripping and cleaning bath solutions from electroplating operations if cyanides are used in the process.

Is spent cyanide stripping bath waste Federal F009 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F009The spent stripping or cleaning bath came from electroplating that used cyanide.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
