Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity. | Use this group for waste recovery when the main activity includes Materials recovery and Energy recovery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity. | Use this group for waste collection when the main activity includes Collection of non-hazardous waste and Collection of hazardous waste. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity. | Use this class for incineration without energy recovery when the main activity includes Incineration without energy recovery.

| Official inclusions | - - This group includes waste disposal of both non-hazardous and hazardous waste. Included are thermal treatment without energy recovery, landfilling, release in bodies of water and permanent storage of waste. Treatment prior to disposal of various forms of waste by different means (for example, the treatment of organic waste with the aim of disposal; the treatment and disposal of toxic live or dead animals and other contaminated waste; the treatment and disposal of transitional radioactive waste from hospitals, etc.) are also included.
- - This group also includes burial or ploughing under of refuse; disposal of used goods to eliminate harmful waste.
| - - operation of wastewater treatment facilities for reuse (e.g. of agricultural, industrial and road cleaning wastewater or collected rainwater), or for artificial recharge or augmentation of groundwater bodies
- - collection and transport of wastewater from users (e.g. households or industrial units)
- - collection and transport of rainwater by means of sewerage networks, collectors, tanks and other means of transport (e.g. sewage vehicles, etc.)
- - maintenance and cleaning of sewers and drains, including sewer rodding
- - freeze-drying of sewage sludge by wastewater treatment plants
| - - This group includes waste pretreatment and recovery of both non-hazardous and hazardous waste. Included are materials recovery, energy recovery resulting from thermal treatment of waste and other forms of waste recovery. Treatment prior to recovery of various forms of waste by different means is also included in the group.
| - - This group includes the collection of waste from households and businesses (for example, by means of bins, containers). It includes collection of non-hazardous and hazardous waste (for example, diapers, used batteries, demolition waste, waste oil from households and ships).
| - - This class includes the disposal and treatment prior to disposal of waste by combustion or thermal treatment without energy recovery.
