By U.S. law, carbon is not a listed hazardous waste nor is it characteristic hazardous waste. That is not to say that carbon has no hazards. For instance, spent activated charcoal will need to be characterized as to the hazard of the adsorbed chemical.

Charcoal, by itself has restrictions under DOT HazMat shipping regulations because if it is stacked on skids higher than 4-feet, it can hold and build heat and auto-ignite from the friction from vibration produced during road transport.

What are the differences between hazardous and non hazardous waste and the relationship of this to potential contamination?

Hazardous wastes are materials that are to be discarded (i.e. are wastes) but can be a danger to people or to the environment and meet the definition based on the identity of the material or on test results. If hazardous wastes are mixed with the nonhazardous wastes, the result is a hazardous waste. A non-hazardous waste is something that is to be discarded (i.e is a waste) but does not meet the definition of a hazardous waste.
