  • Acute hazardousP-listed waste

    Arsenic pentoxide

P-list unused product.

Acute hazardous P-listed waste for unused arsenic pentoxide, an arsenic compound used in making pesticides & wood preservatives.

Is P011 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the listing applies. P011 covers discarded, unused arsenic pentoxide, including off-specification product and qualifying residues. It is acute hazardous waste, so the stricter acute quantities apply even for a small amount of chemical.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put P011 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules and pharmaceutical containers.

What does P011 cover?

Unused arsenic pentoxide discarded as pure or technical grade, or in a formulation where it is the only active ingredient. This includes off-specification batches, residues in nonempty containers and spill cleanup residues. Inactive ingredients don't stop it being the only active ingredient.

Is unused arsenic pentoxide always P011?

CodeWhen it fits
P011The unused chemical is thrown away as pure or technical grade, or as the only active ingredient. Qualifying product residues count too.
Characteristic waste (D001–D043)A used chemical or a different formulation shows a hazardous waste characteristic. Check any process listings that fit too.

A listed unused product can also show a characteristic, so these rows can apply together. A manufacturing waste that merely contains this chemical isn't P011. Match the waste's origin, formulation and use history. Mixing listed waste with solid waste, or treating it, generally doesn't remove the listing. Only an exclusion, exception or approved delisting does.
