    Grease

Discarded grease in sludge form.

Discarded grease in sludge form. Industrial grease and lubricating grease can follow different routes.

Where does Texas form code 696 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 696, then 1 final class character. Form 696 puts the stream in the organic sludges category.

Form 696 doesn't set a hazard status. The stream's composition, source and properties decide which class character follows it.

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 applicable EPA waste codes. The 3 form digits alone are incomplete.

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

What does Texas form code 696 cover?

Discarded grease that is mostly organic and pumpable as a sludge. Its source and use help decide scope, and petroleum-based lubricating grease may need the separate used-oil check.

Is discarded grease Texas form code 696 or 695?

CodeWhen it fits
696The waste is discarded grease in pumpable organic-sludge form.
695The petroleum-contaminated sludge is not grease, still bottoms or oily sludge.

Nonindustrial, nonhazardous restaurant grease-trap waste isn't industrial waste, so it takes no form here. For lubricating grease, check the industrial grease and petroleum route before you assign an ordinary waste stream.
