    Untreated plating sludge, no cyanides

Pumpable untreated plating sludge without cyanides.

Pumpable inorganic plating sludge from metal finishing, untreated and without cyanides. With cyanides it is form 506.

Where does Texas form code 505 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 505 and a final class character. Form 505 puts the stream in the inorganic sludges category.

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

For a hazardous or Class 1 shipment that needs a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter the full Texas code in Item 13, across 2 blocks on paper. Add any EPA waste codes alongside 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. 1, 2 and 3 are the nonhazardous industrial classes. Testing or process knowledge supports that call, and picking a form doesn't set the class.

What does Texas form code 505 cover?

This form covers mostly inorganic, pumpable sludge from a plating operation, before treatment and with no cyanides. It must be untreated, from plating and free of cyanide.
