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.
