ComplyOnSiteIs Ontario 112 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Ontario 112 describes the waste stream, not whether it is hazardous. Ontario decides that from the hazardous characterization or liquid-industrial status, and from the exclusions. The 3-digit class needs a primary characterization letter to form the waste number.
For subject waste, the generator enters the class-and-letter waste number in the waste details of the Ontario hazardous waste manifest. Ontario’s exclusions and shipment rules also apply.
What does Ontario 112 cover?
Acidic heavy-metal liquids, sludges and residues. Examples are sulphuric, hydrochloric or nitric acid solutions carrying heavy metals such as lead, tin, cadmium, zinc, chromium, nickel or copper. Discarded chromic acid and acidic air-pollution-control sludge from secondary lead smelting also fit.
Is heavy-metal acid waste Ontario 112 or another class?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 112 | The stream is acidic heavy-metal liquids, sludges and residues. |
| 113 | The acid contains metals or non-metals other than the heavy-metal group. |
When several characterizations apply, the registration flowchart picks the primary one. A 3-digit class doesn't replace the flowchart or the exclusions.
