What is EWC code 17 04 09?
17 04 09 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for metal waste contaminated with hazardous substances. It sits in chapter 17 (construction and demolition wastes (including excavated soil from contaminated sites)). 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.
