Is Manitoba L78 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule C extract limit is met. L78 is a Category 4 Provincial Waste Code. Waste takes it when the Method 1311 extract holds methylene chloride at 5 mg/L or more.

The 3-digit provincial waste class goes in a separate field. It doesn't replace the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code.

For regulated hazardous waste, enter L78 in the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code field on the Manitoba movement document. Manitoba’s registration and shipment rules still apply.
