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.

Discarded compressed gases and their cylinders. The category gives the material or process part of the Uniform Waste Code.
