GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLICATION OF SPECIAL MANAGEMENT

OF SCHEDULED WASTE
INTRODUCTION
1. Under Regulation 7 (1), Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulation 2005, a waste generator
may apply to the Director General , in writing, to exclude the scheduled wastes generated from their
particular facility or process from being treated, disposed of or recovered at the prescribed premises .
2. The general requirements for the application are described in these guidelines.
INFORMATION REQUIRED
3. In order for the application to be considered , scheduled waste generators must demonstrate that the
waste meet all the following conditions:
i) Does not exhibit any of the hazardous characteristics - corrosivity, ignitability, reactivity, and
toxicity, as defined in Appendix I; and
ii) Has been proven by scientific studies or tests on its toxicity and carcinogenicity and does not have
hazardous effects on human or other life forms as specified in Appendix II, in concentration
which is equal to, or exceeds the percentage limits (percentage weights) specified in Appendix
III. A generator/ applicant shall submit reports, records or journals in order to prove that the waste
does not exhibit any of the elements mentioned.
4. The applicant shall provide the information as required in AS WM 1/2005 form together with processing
fee of RM 300.00 which is not refundable (Appendix IV)

Filling of wastes into containers should be as

nearest as possible to the point of waste

 If a container is in poor condition or leaking, the spillage

should be contained immediately and prevented from
spreading.
 The scheduled wastes should be immediately transferred to a

new or a good condition container.

If solvents and other liquid wastes received in bulk

are to be stored at the storage site, an adequate
number of storage tanks with an appropriate piping
and pumping system should be installed. Fire
prevention procedures and regulations must be
observed.

Suitable equipment
such as forklift should
be used to move the
containers. Containers
should not be pushed,
rolled or dragged.
Smoking should be
prohibited in scheduled
wastes storage area and
non-smoking signage
should be put up at the
storage area.

Containers should be stored with an ample aisle space between

groups of containers to allow for:
The free movement of the forklift and other equipment and
machinery
Emergency fire fighting purpose
Emergency escape route
Ease of inspection of containers for leaks or spillages

• Reactive wastes should

be kept away from any
moisture
A waste is reactive if:
(1) it is normally unstable and readily undergoes violent change without detonating; (2) it reacts
violently with water; (3) it forms potentially explosive mixtures with water; (4) it generates toxic
gases, vapors, or fumes when mixed with water; (5) it contains cyanides or sulfides and can
generate toxic gases when exposed to pH conditions between 2 and 12.5; or (6) it is explosive
under standard temperature and pressure conditions, or it can explode if subjected to a strong
initiating source or heated under confinement.
Examples of Reactive Waste
Sodium metal, potassium metal, lithium metal, concentrated sulfuric acid, picric acid,
trinitrobenzene, metal azides, amides, benzoyl peroxide.
