Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments operating combustors and incinerators for nonhazardous solid waste disposal are classified in this code, even when producing byproducts such as electricity or steam. The key distinction separates combustion-based disposal from landfill operations, which are classified in Solid Waste Landfill; and from treatment methods that do not involve combustion, which fall under Other Nonhazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal. Hazardous waste combustion and incineration facilities belong in Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal.
