Type 3, Listed acetone/alcohol/ether solvents.

  • B.C. Schedule 7 wastes

    Listed acetone/alcohol/ether solvents

Type 3 uses a closed solvent list; an unlisted solvent does not fit this entry.

Spent non-halogenated solvents such as xylene, acetone, ethyl acetate, MIBK and methanol, plus still bottoms.

Is B.C. Type 3 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 3 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 3 is the shipping name on the B.C. hazardous waste manifest. The B.C. exclusions and shipment rules apply.

What does B.C. Type 3 cover?

Type 3 covers listed acetone/alcohol/ether solvents. Its solvent list is closed, so an unlisted solvent doesn't fit. 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.
