ComplyOnSiteIs Alberta 243 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Alberta 243 is an industrial category for PCB waste. Waste is hazardous only when it has a Schedule 1 property or listing and no Schedule 2 exclusion applies. The category number settles neither. The PCB limit for hazardous waste is 50 mg/kg or more.
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 243 cover?
PCB material. The category gives 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.
