CPC Definition - Subclass B09B
This place covers:
The disposal of solid waste involving single or combined operations, comprising features related to the disposal of solid waste. Such features must encompass the combination with:
(a) additional steps specific for waste disposal; or
(b) other aspects of the operation specific for waste disposal that are not fully classifiable in a single other subclass.
Features in relation to the disposal of solid waste but specific to an operation provided for in a single other subclass, which relate to a requirement or problem of a nature particular to the operation, are not covered by this subclass unless the method of operation is not provided for elsewhere.

In this subclass, it is desirable to classify the type(s) of solid waste with an appropriate Indexing symbol in B09B 2101/00 – B09B 2101/95.
In this place, the following terms or expressions are used with the meaning indicated:
Disposal | Discarding, e.g. dumping, or destroying of waste or its transformation into something useful or harmless. |
Solid waste | Includes waste, which although it has liquid content, is for practical purposes handled as solid. |
This place covers:
Disposing of solid waste by means of dumping, either as bulk material or as
discrete elements of stabilized and/or packaged waste. Dumping may be
within underground cavities.
