Form codes for industrial waste generated outside Texas and shipped into the state for management.

When does out-of-state waste use OUTS?

Waste generated outside Texas uses OUTS as the first 4 characters of its Texas code, including approved Class 2 and 3 waste. For hazardous or Class 1 shipments that need a manifest, enter the full code in Item 13. Universal waste and household hazardous waste follow their own routes.

TCEQ’s soil example OUTS3011 means OUTS, organic-contaminated soil form 301 and Class 1. The manifest instructions show where the code goes.

When can out-of-state industrial waste be Class 2 or 3?

Nonhazardous industrial waste brought into or through Texas for processing, storage or disposal defaults to Class 1. TCEQ must approve a supported Class 2 or 3 determination before that management.

Send process knowledge and analytical evidence to the Waste Permits Division.

Which disposal request applies to out-of-state waste?

For proposed disposal at a Type I municipal landfill, RG-022 sends the classification request through Form 00152 with supporting documents.

Form 00152 requests special-waste disposal authorization and is separate from the general out-of-state classification request.

Before shipping, confirm generator-status and quantity exemptions, the manifest you need and that the destination accepts the waste.
