Classification of Hazardous Waste - Hazardous Waste Lists

Classes of waste or specific types of waste were listed because they either exhibited characteristics or contained acutely hazardous or toxic constituents.

Wastes from non-specific sources are found on the F-list. These are primarily generic manufacturing and processing wastes. Examples from the F-list include spent solvents, electroplating sludges and wastes from pesticide manufacturing.

Wastes from specific sources are found on the K-list. These wastes are from specifically identified industries such as wood preserving, petroleum refining and chemical manufacturing.

Discarded commercial chemical products are identified on the P-list and the U-list-Non-Specific Sources.
