The basic hazardous waste chemical classifications will be broken

down into eleven categories:
1. H2O Reactive ( R )
2. Organic *
( N/A )
3. Reactive
(R)
4. Acid
(C)
5. Base
(C)
6. Peroxide
(classify : Special Handling )
7. Oxidizer
(I)
8. Halogen
(classify: Special Handling )
9. Ignitable
(I)
10. Cyanide
(R)
11. Sulfide
(R)

* Note: Simply being Organic is not per say a Hazardous Property
