    Interceptor sludges

Hazardous interceptor sludge, the oily silt in petrol & oil interceptors. An absolute entry, so no testing is needed.

Is 13 05 03* hazardous?

Yes, always. 13 05 03* has an asterisk, and WM3 lists it as absolute hazardous. Waste under this code is hazardous whatever is in it, so no assessment can change that.

It moves on a hazardous waste consignment note, not a waste transfer note. Hazardous waste EWC codes
