What do the F-listed waste codes cover?
F codes cover spent solvents, metal finishing, dioxin-related processes, chlorinated chemical production, wood preserving, refinery sludges and leachate from several listed wastes.
How do I decide an F-listed waste code?
Match both the operation and its waste stream. A listed chemical in the waste doesn't make it an F code on its own.
Which guides go with the F-listed waste codes?
Guides include F001–F005 spent solvent codes, Electroplating waste codes and Wood preserving waste codes. Waste pages cover Used oil, Spent solvents and Parts washer solvent.
