What Waste Code
R13

R13: Storage of waste pending any of the operations numbered R1 to R12, excluding temporary storage, pending collection, on the site where the waste is produced

Annex II of the consolidated Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC)  opens in a new tab.

Notes from the annex

  • Temporary storage means preliminary storage as defined in Article 3(10) of the Waste Framework Directive.

Applying this code

D and R codes describe the operation, not the waste itself and not site acceptance.

Classify the waste first using the Waste classification technical guidance (WM3) — GOV.UK  opens in a new tab, then check permit conditions before applying a code operationally.
