    Arsenic and its compounds

Use Y24 for arsenic and its compounds as a Basel waste stream or constituent.

Basel Y waste stream for arsenic & all arsenic compounds, found in pesticides, wood treatment & smelter waste.

Is Basel Y24 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel Y24 names a waste stream or constituent used in the IWIC. The code describes the material. Its hazards, the other classification parts and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25 decide federal status in Canada.

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 still apply.

What does Basel Y24 cover?

It covers elemental arsenic and compounds containing arsenic. Its movement status in Canada needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and the intended operation.
