Cardboard is a great example. It is solid waste yet not hazardous.

Solid waste can be classified into different types depending on their source:a) Household waste is generally classified as municipal waste, b) Industrial waste as hazardous waste, and c) Biomedical waste or hospital waste as infectious waste.

The three forms of solid waste are household, industrial and biomedical. All three kinds can be hazardous, but the latter two are considered especially hazardous.
