11 01 09*
Typed into Defra's service and Byrne Waste Tracking as 110109*. It is a hazardous entry (the asterisk), so each load needs its hazard property codes, components and a consignment code.
Who takes it
49 permitted sites in England recorded taking 11 01 09* in their 2024 returns to the Environment Agency.
What happens to it
The recovery or disposal code those sites recorded most for 11 01 09* in 2024 (the code each site used for most of its tonnes):
