  • B.C. Schedule 7 wastes

    Aluminum conversion-coating sludge

Type 7 excludes the same residue from a source other than the chemical conversion coating of aluminum.

Sludge from treating wastewater at aluminum finishing lines that use chemical conversion coatings.

Is B.C. Type 7 hazardous waste?

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

On a regulated listed-waste shipment, Type 7 is the shipping name on the B.C. hazardous waste manifest. B.C.’s exclusions and shipment rules still apply.

What does B.C. Type 7 cover?

Type 7 covers aluminum conversion-coating sludge. It excludes the same residue from any source other than the chemical conversion coating of aluminum. It is a B.C. shipping name for a listed waste, not a TDG class, and not a catch-all for similar material from another process.
