    Ash and residue from burning household waste

Use Y47 for ash and residue from burning household waste as a Basel waste stream or constituent.

Basel Y waste stream for residues from the incineration of household waste, such as bottom ash, fly ash & clinker.

Is Basel Y47 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Y47 names a Basel waste stream or constituent used in the IWIC. Federal status in Canada depends on the waste's hazards, the other classification parts, and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25.

For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Basel Y47 cover?

It covers residue left by burning household waste. Its Canadian movement status still needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and intended operation.
