European Waste Catalogue
Clean metallic packaging — cans, tins, drums — is 15 01 04. Drums or containers with hazardous residues must be coded 15 01 10 instead.
Also searched as: tins, cans, steel drums, aluminium cans
The European Waste Catalogue codes waste by the process it arises from, not just the material. Pick the row that matches where your metal packaging is generated — each code links to its full classification, valorisation routes and receiving industries.
