Mining Waste Codes

Mining Waste Codes are classifications that help identify the types of waste generated during mining operations. These codes categorize waste based on their chemical composition and potential environmental impact. For example, they distinguish between non-toxic materials, like clay and rock, and hazardous substances, such as heavy metals and acid-generating materials. Properly categorizing mining waste is essential for ensuring safe disposal, protecting the environment, and complying with regulations. This process helps mitigate risks associated with mining activities, safeguarding ecosystems and public health.
