B.C. Schedule 7 wastes
Electroplating wastewater sludge
Type 6 excludes sludge from the six electroplating operations listed in its entry.
ComplyOnSiteIs B.C. Type 6 hazardous waste?
Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 6 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 6 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 6 cover?
Type 6 covers electroplating wastewater sludge. Sludge from the 6 electroplating operations listed in its entry is excluded. 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.
