What is disposal code D3?
D3 is a disposal code — one of the standard D (disposal) and R (recovery) codes used to record what happens to a waste at its destination. Disposal (D) codes cover operations that get rid of the waste — landfill, incineration without recovery, and similar. You give the D or R code when you record a waste receipt in Digital Waste Tracking, and on waste returns to your regulator.
Permitted sites record the D/R code for each load they receive. Receipt of Waste and waste returns both use these codes.
