Liquid paint thinner or petroleum distillate.

Liquid paint thinner or petroleum distillate. Paint itself takes form 209, and waste oil takes form 206.

Where does Texas form code 211 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, then the 3-digit form 211, then a class character. Form 211 describes a stream in the organic liquids category.

The form doesn't give a hazard status. The stream's makeup, source and properties decide the class character after it.

For a hazardous or Class 1 shipment on a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter the full Texas code in Item 13, across 2 blocks on paper. Put any EPA waste codes beside it. The 3 form digits alone are not enough.

The generator sets the class from exclusions, federal hazardous-waste listings and characteristics, then Texas industrial-waste criteria. H means hazardous, and 1, 2 and 3 are nonhazardous industrial classes. Process knowledge or testing backs the decision. Picking a form doesn't set the class.

What does Texas form code 211 cover?

Paint thinner discarded as a liquid, or another liquid petroleum distillate. It needn't have been sold as paint thinner. The form describes this material, not the coating it thinned or a stream of waste oil.

Is paint thinner waste Texas form code 211?

CodeWhen it fits
211The liquid is paint thinner or a petroleum distillate.
209The material is the liquid organic paint, ink, lacquer or varnish itself.
206The material is waste oil outside the used-oil route.

Product and process records tell the thinner, coating and oil streams apart. The catalog has no rule that makes 211 win over a solvent form when both fit, so pick the form that best fits the stream.
