Federal K source codes
Electric-furnace steel dust and emission-control sludge
Use K061 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K061 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K061 is the federal listing for electric-furnace steel dust and emission-control sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.
What does Federal K061 cover?
Dust and sludge caught by emission controls in the primary production of steel in electric furnaces. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K061.

Is electric-furnace steel dust and emission-control sludge always Federal K061?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K061 | It is electric-furnace steel dust and emission-control sludge from the named Schedule 12 process. |
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.
