Aims at ensuring that information on

physical hazards and toxicity of
chemicals be available to enhance
protection of human health and the

Type of Solid Wastes
Compostable Special Recyclable

Acceptable

Compostable Wastes
Biodegradable wastes such as food waste, garden waste, and
animal waste
Examples: Fruit and vegetable peelings, leftover

foods, vegetable trims, fish/fowl/meat/animal
entrails, soft shells, seeds, and leaves
Recyclable Wastes
Any waste material retrieved from the waste stream and free from
contamination that can still be converted into suitable beneficial
use
Examples: Newspaper, ferrous and non-ferrous

scrap metals, corrugated cardboard, aluminum,
tin cans, glass, and papers

Special Wastes
Household hazardous wastes
Examples: Paints, thinner, household batteries,

lead-acid batteries, spray canisters, bulky wastes,
consumer electronics (worn-out, broken and other
discarded items), white goods (large worn-out or
broken household appliances), oil, etc.
Residual Wastes
Solid waste materials that are non-compostable and non-
recyclable
Examples: Sanitary napkins and disposable diapers

WTE Acceptable Wastes

Wastes that are non-compostable and non-recyclable can be
considered for WTE processes, provided that they pass the waste
acceptance criteria
Examples: Candy wrappers/sachets, cartons which

contain a plastic lining, and used tires
