Is B.C. Type 12 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 12 is a listed B.C. hazardous waste with a Schedule 7 shipping name. The waste must match the entry's description and stay inside the hazardous-waste definition after exclusions.

For a regulated listed-waste shipment, Type 12 is the shipping name on the B.C. hazardous waste manifest. The B.C. exclusions and shipment rules apply.

What does B.C. Type 12 cover?

Type 12 covers heat-treatment salt-pot cyanide cleaners. The same residue from any source other than salt bath pot cleaning from non-precious metal heat treating operations is excluded. It is a B.C. listed-waste shipping name. It is not a TDG class, and not a general code for similar material from another process.
