Is Alberta 232 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta 232 is an industrial category for polymer resins. Waste is hazardous only when it has a Schedule 1 property or listing and no Schedule 2 exclusion applies. The category number settles neither.

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 still apply.

What does Alberta 232 cover?

Resins made from polymers. The category gives the material or process part of the Uniform Waste Code. Transport identification, transport class and the management operation are separate parts.
