Trucks, hoppers, isotainers, and hose washouts are common on blasting and ANE manufacturing sites, yet disposal options are often limited.

ANE, especially high-grade, is designed to resist water ingress and does not mix with water, leading to stratified layers of water and sludge in waste containers.

Due to this separation and water resistance, it remains classified as Security Sensitive Ammonium Nitrate (SSAN) under West Australian regulations.
