Not from the code alone. Alberta 321 is an industrial category for explosive production/detonation 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.

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 also apply.

What does Alberta 321 cover?

Waste from explosive manufacture or detonation products. The category gives the material or process part of the Uniform Waste Code.

The industrial identification guide describes the category, and the Waste Control Regulation sets hazardous status and exclusions.
