Throughout the nomenclature, ‘municipal waste’ means waste of a kind collected from households, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, shops, offices, etc., road and pavement sweepings, as well as construction and demolition waste.
Municipal waste generally contains a large variety of materials such as plastics, rubber, wood, paper, textiles, glass, metals, food materials, broken furniture and other damaged or discarded articles.
The term ‘municipal waste’, however, does not cover: (a) individual materials or articles segregated from the waste, for example wastes of plastics, rubber, wood, paper, textiles, glass or metals, electrical and electronic waste and scrap (including spent batteries) which fall in their appropriate headings of the nomenclature; (b) industrial waste; (c) waste pharmaceuticals, as defined in note 4(k) to Chapter 30; or (d) clinical waste, as defined in note 6(a) below. 5.
For the purposes of heading 3825, ‘sewage sludge’ means sludge arising from urban effluent treatment plant and includes pretreatment waste, scourings and unstabilised sludge.
Stabilised sludge when suitable for use as fertiliser is excluded (Chapter 31). 6.
For the purposes of heading 3825, the expression ‘other wastes’ applies to: (a) clinical waste, that is, contaminated waste arising from medical research, diagnosis, treatment or other medical, surgical, dental or veterinary procedures, which often contain pathogens and pharmaceutical substances and require special disposal procedures (for example, soiled dressings, used gloves and used syringes); (b) waste organic solvents; (c) wastes of metal pickling liquors, hydraulic fluids, brake fluids and anti-freezing fluids; and (d) other wastes from chemical or allied industries.
The expression ‘other wastes’ does not, however, cover wastes which contain mainly petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals (heading 2710). 7.
For the purposes of heading 3826, the term ‘biodiesel’ means mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids of a kind used as a fuel, derived from animal, vegetable or microbial fats and oils whether or not used.
