| Spontaneous Combustion: Substances or wastes liable to spontaneous heating under normal transport conditions or upon contact with air. |
| Water-Reactive: Substances or wastes which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases in dangerous quantities. |
| Toxic Gas Emission: Substances or wastes which, by interaction with air or water, emit toxic gases in dangerous quantities. |
| Toxic (Delayed or Chronic): Substances or wastes which, if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, may cause delayed or chronic effects, including carcinogenicity. |

This section encompasses disposal operations performed in practice that do not lead to resource recovery, recycling, reclamation, direct reuse, or alternative uses:
- D1: Deposit into or onto land (e.g., landfill).
- D2: Land treatment (e.g., biodegradation of liquid or sludgy discards in soils).
- D5: Specially engineered landfill (e.g., placement into separated, covered, and insulated cells).
Section B: Operations With Resource Recovery
This section encompasses operations for materials legally defined as special waste that would otherwise be assigned to Section A:
- R1: Use as a fuel (other than direct incineration) or other means to generate energy.
- R2: Solvent reclamation/regeneration.
- R3: Recycling/reclamation of organic substances not used as solvents.
- R4: Recycling/reclamation of metals and metal compounds.
