Is B.C. Type 76 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 76 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 76 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 76 cover?

Type 76 covers refinery heat-exchanger cleaning sludge. It excludes the same residue from any source other than the petroleum refining industry. 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.
