Incineration Solids.
Incineration Solids are solid waste materials—such as contaminated debris, sludges, filters, or other non-recyclable byproducts—that are safely destroyed through high-temperature incineration. Recycling companies manage these solids to ensure the complete elimination of hazardous components, reduce landfill dependency, and protect the environment from potential contamination.
The following coditions apply to all INC prefix waste unless noted otherwise. No asbestos, mercury <10ppm, cyanides<500ppm, sulfides<500ppm, reactives or large pieces of metal or concrete. Halogens less than 5%.
| IS01A | Soils and sludges for consolidation and incineration. | Must be compatible with nearly everything and not require shredding. Free liquids ok |
| IS01B | Light solids for consolidation and incineration | Rags, pads, plastic, floor dry,vermiculite, wood, no monoliths. Max weight 250 lbs/55G including the drum. No liquids |
| IS01C | Pesticide solids and sludge | >1in solids, must not react with water or solvents. pH 4-12-5. Liquids ok |
| IS01D | F027 Solids and sludge | >1in solids, must not react with water or solvents. pH 4-12-5. Liquids ok |
| IS01E | Acidic solids with organics | Solids, pH<4 (when water added), liquids ok |
| IS01F | Basic solids with organics | Solids, pH>12.5 (when water added), liquids ok |
| IS02 | Monolithic solids | Must be shreddable. No large ieces of metal. No larger than 85G drum |
| IS03 | Cyanides or sulfide solids | pH>7 (when water added), ammonia<0.5%, liqids ok |
| IS04 | 4.1 Solids | Packaged in 5gal or smaller containers. |

| IS09 | Empty containers of acutely toxic waste | Otherwise empty containers that have not been triple rinsed. |
| IS10 | Temperature controlled material | Any temperature controlled material. Must be delivered in refrigerated trailer or otherwise cooled. Will be incinerated upon arrival |
| IS11 | Debris | Debris as per 40CFR268.2 |
The Power of Incineration Solids
-
How it works?
Incineration Solids is the process of safely disposing of non-recyclable solid wastes—such as contaminated debris, sludges, and filters—by burning them at high temperatures in controlled facilities. Recycling companies first collect, sort, and characterize these solids to ensure compatibility and safety. Then, in secure incinerators, the solids are combusted, effectively destroying hazardous components and reducing the waste to inert ash. This process protects the environment, prevents soil and water contamination, and ensures regulatory compliance.

What are the benefits?
Incineration Solids is the safe disposal of non-recyclable solid wastes—such as contaminated debris, sludges, and filters—through high-temperature incineration. Recycling companies use this process to completely destroy hazardous components, minimize landfill use, and prevent soil and water contamination. Key benefits include enhanced environmental protection, regulatory compliance, reduced health risks, and a safer method for handling difficult-to-manage solid waste.
