    Dithiocarbamate purification solids, dust and sweepings

Use K161 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for purification solids, baghouse dust & floor sweepings from dithiocarbamate acid production, other than K125 & K126.

Is Federal K161 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K161 lists dithiocarbamate purification solids, dust and sweepings. 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 still apply.

What does Federal K161 cover?

Purification solids (including filtration, evaporation and centrifugation solids), bag house dust and floor sweepings generated while producing dithiocarbamate acids and their salts, excluding substances listed as K125 or K126. The waste form and the process that made it must both match. A similar material from another operation isn't K161.

Official wording
Purification solids (including filtration, evaporation and centrifugation solids), bag house dust and floor sweepings from the production of dithiocarbamate acids and their salts, excluding substances listed as K125 or K126.

Are dithiocarbamate purification solids, dust and sweepings always Federal K161?

CodeWhen it fits
K161Dithiocarbamate purification solids, dust and sweepings from the named Schedule 12 process.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what it contains and what the tests show. Sharing a chemical or process word with the listing isn't enough. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
