Is 02 01 08* hazardous?

Yes, unless an assessment shows it isn’t. 02 01 08* has an asterisk, and WM3 lists it as mirror hazardous: the hazardous side of a choice between codes, decided by assessing the waste under WM3.

If it isn’t hazardous: 02 01 09. If you can’t find out what’s in it, it stays 02 01 08*.
