Whether 17 09 01 or its counterpart applies depends on a WM3 assessment of the substances present — the same waste stream classifies differently depending on what it contains.
Hazard properties this entry typically carries
C&D waste containing mercury — acute toxicity and ecotoxic.
These are the hazard properties this EWC entry typically carries, not a classification of any particular load. Under WM3, whether a hazard property applies depends on the substances actually present and their concentrations — the producer is responsible for assessing each consignment.
