ComplyOnSiteIs Alberta 112 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Alberta 112 is an industrial category for heavy-metal acid waste. A waste is hazardous only when it has a Schedule 1 property or listing and no Schedule 2 exclusion applies. The code number proves neither. Alberta treats a waste as corrosive when its pH is below 2.0 or above 12.5. A pH of exactly 2.0 or 12.5 doesn’t meet that test.
For regulated hazardous waste sent for disposal, the consignor enters the waste details on the Alberta hazardous waste manifest. Alberta’s exclusions and shipment rules apply as well.
What does Alberta 112 cover?
Acidic heavy-metal liquids, sludges and residues. The category is the material or process part of the Uniform Waste Code. Transport identification, transport class and the management operation are separate parts. The industrial identification guide describes the category, and the Waste Control Regulation decides hazardous status and exclusions.
Is heavy-metal acid waste Alberta 112 or 113?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 112 | Acidic heavy-metal liquids, sludges and residues. |
| 113 | Acid waste with other metals or non-metals instead of heavy metals. |
The guide has no rule on which code wins for spent pickling liquor that also holds heavy metals. Both can fit, so confirm the category you intend instead of assuming 111 or 112 always wins.
