On a waste transfer note
Fine to carry on a transfer note.
Non-hazardous. Put the code, a plain description, how much and whether it was loose or in something — one line per type of waste on the load.
What to write on the note
08 01 12
waste paint and varnish other than those mentioned in 08 01 11
That second line is the official List of Wastes description. Writing it out is what makes the note match the code.
What this code covers
water-based paintemulsion
Same stuff, different code
The code depends on where the load came from, not just what it is. Use these when the paint or adhesive is left over from a job, not cleared out of somebody’s house.
Which chapter this is
Chapter 08 — Trade paint and adhesive
Wastes from the manufacture, formulation, supply and use (MFSU) of coatings (paints, varnishes and vitreous enamels), adhesives, sealants and printing inks
Use these when the paint or adhesive is left over from a job, not cleared out of somebody’s house.

WasteBoss is not a regulator. Codes are a starting point — if a load is borderline, the tip or your regulator decides.
