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.

Discarded chemical fertilizer. The category is the material or process part of the Uniform Waste Code. Transport identification, transport class and the management operation are separate parts.
