    Oil no longer suitable for its original use

Manitoba Schedule A; monthly registration amount 20 L or 20 kg.

Used lubricating oil from engines, gearboxes & hydraulics, registered from 20 L or 20 kg a month.

Is Manitoba MHW1 hazardous waste?

Yes, subject to the listed Manitoba exclusions. MHW1 is Manitoba's Schedule A Provincial Waste Code for oil that is no longer suitable for its original use. It is Category 2 hazardous waste unless a specific exclusion applies.

For regulated hazardous waste, enter MHW1 in the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code field on the Manitoba movement document. Manitoba’s registration and shipment rules apply. The 3-digit provincial waste class goes in a separate field and doesn't replace that code.

What does Manitoba MHW1 cover?

MHW1 covers petroleum-based or synthetic lubricating oil that can no longer do its job. That includes engine, transmission, gearbox, differential and hydraulic oils.
