Which Code Applies?

RCRA classifies waste by source, process, and characteristics — not just material. Pick the row that matches how your paint filters & residue arises; each coded row links to the full waste code definition under 40 CFR Part 261.

D001 D List

Filters from solvent-based paint operations

Ignitable waste - liquids with flash point below 60 C (140 F), ignitable solids, oxidizers, and ignitable compressed gases

D008 D List

Filters from lead-based paint operations

Toxicity characteristic waste - Lead at or above 5.0 mg/L (TCLP)

Simulate your D001 stream

Paint Filters & Residue

With a lab analysis, the engine checks the stream against each receiving route's published limits and returns what is supported, what is refused, and why. Without one yet, we tell you which routes it can evaluate and what analysis that needs.

What do you need?

An engineer replies within 1 business day. That reply confirms what is needed to run the dossier and when it can follow. A route the engine does not cover yet is reported as not yet evaluable, with the evidence that would change that.
