What is EWC code 05 01 09?

05 01 09 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for sludges from on-site effluent treatment containing hazardous substances. It sits in chapter 05 (wastes from petroleum refining, natural gas purification and pyrolytic treatment of coal). You use this six-digit code to classify the waste on a waste transfer note, a hazardous waste consignment note, or a Digital Waste Tracking record.

This is a hazardous waste code. Movements of hazardous waste need a hazardous waste consignment note (not an ordinary waste transfer note), and consignment notes must be kept for at least 3 years.
