Type 9, Cyanide plating-bath sludge.

  • B.C. Schedule 7 wastes

    Cyanide plating-bath sludge

Type 9 applies only when this condition holds: cyanides are used in the process.

Sludge that settles at the bottom of electroplating baths where cyanide is used. Highly toxic. Baths without cyanide are not included.

Is B.C. Type 9 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 9 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 9 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 9 cover?

Type 9 covers cyanide plating-bath sludge. Type 9 applies only when cyanides are used in the process. 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.
