    Electric-furnace steelmaking emission residue

Type 80 excludes the same residue from a source other than the primary production of steel in electric furnaces.

Dust or sludge captured by emission controls on electric furnaces making primary steel from scrap. Other sources are not included.

Is B.C. Type 80 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 80 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 80 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 80 cover?

Type 80 covers electric-furnace steelmaking emission residue. It excludes the same residue from any source other than the primary production of steel in electric furnaces. 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.

Is electric-furnace steelmaking emission residue B.C. Type 80 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
Type 80The waste matches the full Schedule 7 description and no exclusion in the definition removes it.

Classifying the waste and filling in the paperwork are separate steps. First work out which definition route and exclusions apply. Then apply the section 46 quantity and transport conditions, and add the TDG description whenever TDG governs the load.
