What does B.C. Type 15 cover?

Type 15 covers metal-recovery cyanide bath liquids. The same residue from any source other than mineral metal recovery 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.
