    asbestos

AER special-handling oilfield category.

Asbestos from old pipe wrap, gaskets & insulation. Alberta lists it as an oilfield special-handling waste.

Is Alberta ASBEST hazardous waste?

No, under Alberta’s hazardous-waste rules. Asbestos is non-hazardous waste in Alberta and can’t go on an Alberta hazardous-waste manifest. ASBEST is the AER code for asbestos waste from the upstream oilfield route. Special asbestos handling and any dangerous-goods shipping document are separate from that decision.

Dangerous oilfield waste stays on the AER route within Alberta. It doesn’t use an Alberta hazardous-waste manifest unless it is exported from Alberta. Record the AER code in the oilfield waste information. A regulated export also needs the federal movement assessment, and a generic industrial category doesn’t replace the AER code.

What does Alberta ASBEST cover?

Asbestos that needs special handling. Follow Alberta’s asbestos-disposal guideline and accepted industry practice. The waste’s actual composition and properties still decide whether it is dangerous and how it is handled.

Is asbestos always Alberta ASBEST?

CodeWhen it fits
ASBESTThe waste comes from the AER upstream oilfield route and the material matches this stream.

Oilfield origin is part of the choice. Waste from an unrelated industrial activity doesn’t become oilfield waste because its material has a similar name.
