Wastewater-treatment sludge
Use AC270 for wastewater-treatment sludge as an OECD recovery-movement waste.
Is OECD AC270 hazardous waste?
For controlled OECD recovery movements. OECD AC270 is an OECD amber-list waste for recovery movements. The code describes the material. SOR/2021-25 and the countries' rules decide whether the Canadian movement is regulated.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions say when that applies.
What does OECD AC270 cover?
The amber code covers sludge from sewage treatment. SOR/2021-25 decides Canadian controls on a recovery movement, not the amber code alone.
