B.C. hazardous waste manifest: details to copy across

1. A. Generator / consignor

The physical address, not a post office box. Write “same as above” if it is the mailing address.

What is the BC hazardous waste manifest?

The six-copy shipping document that goes with hazardous waste: what it is, how much, who shipped it, who carried it and who received it. Waste shipped from B.C., within B.C., to another province or abroad, must go on a B.C. manifest with its unique B.C. identifier number. Another province’s manifest, a dangerous goods shipping document or a bill of lading does not replace it.

The consignor completes Part A, the carrier Part B and the receiver Part C. The consignor should provide the form, though many carriers and receivers supply it as part of their service.

When a manifest is required in BC

When a load carries more than: 5 kg of solids, 5 litres of liquids, 5 litres of gases, 210 litres of waste oil, 210 litres of waste paint or 1,000 kg of waste batteries. Below those quantities no manifest is needed.

More than four wastes, several carriers or several consignors on one trip: attach B.C.’s supplement form ($50 for a pad of 25). A supplement is never a shipping document on its own.

How to fill out a BC manifest

Write dates on the form as year-month-day. Give the UN number, shipping name, class and packing group from the TDG Regulations, or N/A where the waste is not a dangerous good. Quantities go in kg for solids and in litres for liquids and sludges.

The consignor signs box 20: “I certify that the information contained in Part A is correct and complete. I hereby declare that the contents of this consignment are fully and accurately described above by the proper shipping name, and are classified, packaged, marked and labelled/placarded, and are in all respects in proper condition for transport according to applicable international and national governmental regulations.” The carrier signs box 26: “I certify that I have received waste or recyclable material from the generator / consignor for delivery to the receiver / consignee as set out in Part A and that the information contained in Part B is complete and correct.”

The consignor mails copy 1 to the ministry within 3 days and keeps copy 2 for 2 years; copies 3 to 6 travel with the load. The receiver completes Part C, sends copy 3 to the ministry and copy 6 to the consignor within 3 days, gives copy 4 to the carrier and keeps copy 5. Everyone keeps their copy for 2 years.

Questions

Where do I buy BC hazardous waste manifests?

Can I use a dangerous goods shipping document instead?

No. It meets the federal TDG Regulations but not B.C.’s. A B.C. manifest on its own meets both. B.C., hazardous waste manifests

Can I print the general manifest form from the website?
