The hazardous waste is being collected at a tank in a factory and then they give the contract to a third party to dispose and destroy it.. So in what category will the service tax will be leviable?will it be under cleaning services?

This may not be cleaning services. Probably under BAS - production or processing of goods. However the matter was remanded in the case of Bharuch Envior Infra. 2008- 12 - str- 622 based on dept circular. There is adoubt whether the same wouldbe subjected to ST.
