Basel Y waste stream codes
Discarded mineral oil

The oil must be unfit for its original intended use.

Basel Y waste stream for waste mineral oils unfit for their originally intended use, such as used lubricating & hydraulic oil.

Is Basel Y8 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Y8 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 Y8 cover?

It covers mineral oil thrown away because it can no longer do its original job. Its Canadian movement status still needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and intended operation.
