SanR&N - 0128-02 29.07.02 - Hygienic
classifier o f industrial hazardous waste
and 
SanR&N - 0127-02 29.07.02 - Sanitary
procedures for industrial waste inventory, classification, storage and disposal.
70. 
Waste hazard classes include:
• 
Class I - extremely hazardous waste;
• 
Class II - highly hazardous waste;
• 
Class III - moderately hazardous waste; and
• 
Class IV - low-hazardous waste.
71. 
Hazard classes, physical characteristics and chemical composition of toxic industrial 
waste are determined by designated process laboratories of companies or research institutes 
requiring involvement of specialists from Goskomecologiya and the Sanitary Epidemiological 
Stations (SES).
72. 
The State Statistics Committee has generated a special statistics form to collect data 
on generated hazardous wastes: Form _ 3- Environment. Hazardous Waste Generation, 
Handling and Storage Report. This report provides information on 15 streams of waste 
distinguished by pollutants (chrome, asbestos, mercury, etc.) and hazard classes.

Waste Transportation
73. 
The transportation of hazardous wastes shall be in specially designated types of 
vehicle with a waste transportation certificate and a permit. Responsibility for safe 
transportation of hazardous waste shall be with a transporting organization (Law on Wastes, 
Article 20).
74. 
Provided generated waste is subject to export and import operations, or hazardous 
waste is subject to transportation, an environmental certification procedure shall be 
completed by the project to confirm compliance with sanitary and environmental norms and 
standards associated with SWM (Law on Wastes, Article 19).
Waste R ecycling and Re-use
75. 
MSW
may be re-used as material for backfilling open pits and quarries provided food 
waste content is less than 15%.
76. 
The national requirement for 
mercury-containing waste and materials
(spent mercury 
lamps, devices, etc.) is to use only specialized contractors for recycling and treatment 
properly licensed by Goskomecologiya of Uzbekistan. Currently mercury recycling facilities 
are available in Tashkent, Andijan, Fergana, Navoi, Zaravshan and Bukhara cities (Decree 
of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Enhancing the Use and 
Recycling of Mercury Lamps and Devices No.405 of 23.10.2000).
Waste Storage and D isposal
77. 
The Law on Wastes (Article 22) specifies general requirements for waste storage and 
disposal. Waste disposal of recyclable waste is prohibited in Uzbekistan. Storage and 
disposal of waste in the environment including in nature conservation and protected areas, 
settlements, health and recreational areas or historical and cultural facilities is prohibited. 
Waste disposal in subsoil is allowed in exceptional cases provided special investigations 
prove it is safe for health, the environment, and natural resources.
78. 
All wastes (hazardous and non-hazardous) generated and landfilled by the project 
will be subject to waste disposal charges used in Uzbekistan as an economic instrument to 
promote waste recycling and re-use.
79. 
MSW landfills
in Uzbekistan are supposed to be accommodated in such a way as to 
ensure that landfill operations comply with sanitary and epidemiological requirements and 
are safe to both human health and the environment. A MSW landfill may service one 
settlement or a group of settlements.
80. 
MSW landfills may be used to dispose of construction waste and some types of 
industrial waste rated at Hazard Class III and IV however this will require a special approval 
from a respective Centre for Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision (CSES).
81. 
Decontamination and disposal of toxic industrial wastes shall be carried out at special 
engineering facilities - landfills - taking into account their class of hazard, by incineration, 
neutralization or dumping.
82. 
Industrial hazardous waste shall be disposed at hazardous waste landfills as 
specified in SanR&N RUz - 0127-02 29.07.02 - Sanitary procedures for industrial waste 
inventory, classification, storage and disposal.
83.
