What is EWC code 17 06 05?
17 06 05 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for construction materials containing asbestos. 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.
