SW409 is the scheduled waste code for disposed containers, bags and equipment contaminated with chemicals, oil or other scheduled wastes. It shows up at almost every manufacturing site, and it is often coded or handled incorrectly.
Miscoding, poor storage or handing SW409 to the wrong party can result in DOE non-compliance findings. Compliance starts with getting the classification right.
We review your waste streams, confirm the correct classification and make sure your storage and records are in order. You get a clear answer, not a manual to work through.
