What Is A Waste Type?

A waste type means the type and movement of
waste from its source to its final disposal. Waste
comes in many different forms and can be either
hazardous or non-hazardous.

What Is The Difference Between Non-Hazardous & Hazardous Waste Types?

“Waste is divided into two classes based on the risk it poses – general waste and hazardous waste. General waste means waste that does not pose an immediate hazard or threat to health or the environment, and includes domestic waste; building and demolition waste; business waste; inert waste; or any waste classified as non-hazardous waste in terms of the regulations made under section 69, and includes non-hazardous substances, materials or objects within the business, domestic or building and demolition waste.”
