    Oily water from oil/water separators

Hazardous oily water from oil/water separators. An absolute entry, so it holds however thin the oil layer is.

Is 13 05 07* hazardous?

Yes, always. 13 05 07* 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
