Type 5, Toluene/ketone solvent waste.

  • B.C. Schedule 7 wastes

    Toluene/ketone solvent waste

Type 5 uses a closed solvent list; an unlisted solvent does not fit this entry.

Spent non-halogenated solvents such as toluene, MEK, carbon disulphide and pyridine, plus still bottoms.

Is B.C. Type 5 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 5 is the Schedule 7 shipping name for a listed B.C. hazardous waste. The waste must match the entry's description and fall inside the hazardous-waste definition once exclusions are applied.

For a regulated listed-waste shipment, Type 5 is the shipping name on the B.C. hazardous waste manifest. The exclusions and shipment rules for B.C. still apply.

What does B.C. Type 5 cover?

Type 5 covers toluene/ketone solvent waste. Type 5 uses a closed solvent list, so an unlisted solvent doesn't fit. It is a B.C. shipping name for a listed waste, not a TDG class, and it doesn't cover similar material from other processes.
