Why Can More Than One Code Apply?
Waste codes describe the source and nature of the waste. For example, household electrical equipment and industrial equipment can have different entries. Oil codes vary with its use and composition. Some paired entries require a hazardous-property assessment before a code can be chosen.
An asterisk (*) marks a hazardous waste entry. Some electrical waste also needs checks for persistent organic pollutants (POPs); this search does not decide how waste must be treated.
Check the current WM3 waste classification guidance, electrical waste guidance and oil and vehicle waste guidance. Reviewed 7 October 2026.
