Contains 4 narrower codes

• 36 Water Collection, Extraction, Processing and Supply
• 37 Wastewater Management
• 38 Collection, Processing and Disposal of Waste Or Garbage; and Recovery Activities
• 39 Remediation Activities and Management of Waste Or Other Garbage

What E includes

• This category includes activities related to the handling, collection, pretreatment, recovery, and disposal of various forms of waste and garbage, including solid and non-solid waste from households and industries, and their management. The results of waste and garbage processing processes can be disposed of or used as inputs in other production processes.
• Secondary raw materials are materials and products that can be used as raw materials through simple reuse or through recycling and material recovery.
• Water supply activities are included in this category because they are frequently performed or associated with units involved in waste treatment.
• These activities include remediation of contaminated buildings and sites, soil, surface water, and groundwater (e.g., marine, mangrove), among others.
• Units that typically take over their clients' waste handling procedures and become waste transport customers, then bill their clients for waste handling services, should be classified under head division 38, because although these units do not directly provide the relevant services, they are responsible for their fulfillment. These activities should be considered as a complete outsourcing of those services.
• This category also includes - Carbon capture and storage (CCS);

What E excludes

• This category does not include - waste trading as an agent, see class 4610; - waste trading as a wholesaler, see class 4679.
