As amended S.I. No. 895. '''The List of Wastes Regulations 2005''', as amended, transposes the Council Decision on the list of wastes and list of [[Hazardous Waste]], otherwise known as the [[European Waste Catalogue]] (EWC) into England.

The [[European Waste Catalogue]] is made up of approximately 650 different codes divided into 20 chapters, each of which contains a number of sub-categories. Wastes that are considered to be hazardous are denoted by an asterisk in the list. Each code is six digits and many codes are double entries where there will be a code for the non-hazardous version of the waste and another – with asterisk – for the hazardous version. There are also codes that end in 99 which are used for ‘waste not otherwise specified’. Generally, the [[Environment Agency]] does not like these to be used as a waste description on a [[Waste Transfer Note]] or [[Consignment Notes]]<ref>WasteCare, 2019.
