Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 56299 covers waste management activities that involve cleaning and maintenance rather than remediation or material recovery. Establishments that pump out and service portable toilets, cesspools, and septic tanks, or that clean sewers and beaches belong in this code. Remediation Services handles contaminated site cleanup and toxic material abatement, while Materials Recovery Facilities operates sorting and separation operations for recyclable materials; neither of those activities falls under 56299.
