F-listed waste
Spent cyanide plating-bath solution

F-list process waste.

Plating tank, drawn for RCRA waste code F007, spent cyanide plating-bath solution. Used cyanide plating bath liquid. — Reactive & toxic F-listed waste. Spent cyanide plating bath solution from electroplating, which can release poison gas with acid.

Is F007 hazardous waste?

Yes. F007 is nonacute F-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match the listing. The federal table gives it hazard code (R, T), meaning reactivity and toxicity.

F007 depends on how and where the waste arose, not on a concentration test alone. A test may add a characteristic code, but it doesn't remove this listing when its conditions are met.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put F007 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does F007 cover?

F007 covers spent cyanide plating bath solutions from electroplating operations. The waste form and its exact source process must both match, because chemical content alone isn't enough.

Hazard code: (R, T), reactivity and toxicity
Rule: 40 CFR 261.31

Is spent cyanide plating bath F007 or F008?

Code	When it fits
F007	It is spent cyanide plating bath solutions from electroplating operations.
F008	It is plating bath residues from the bottom of plating baths from electroplating operations from a process that uses cyanide.
F009	It is spent stripping and cleaning bath solutions from electroplating operations from a process that uses cyanide.

The operation and the waste form set this listing apart. Chemical content alone doesn't pick an F code. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that can apply, so add any characteristic or other listing that fits on its own. One waste can carry more than one federal code.
