    Liquid tannery sludge

Ontario group: miscellaneous inorganic wastes and mixed wastes.

Liquid tannery sludge, inorganic tannery waste in liquid form, in Ontario's miscellaneous inorganic & mixed waste group.

Is Ontario 144 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 144 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 144 cover?

Liquid sludge from tanneries. Examples are mixtures containing waste lime, chrome-tanning liquor, and liquids or sludge from dehairing.

Is tannery sludge Ontario 144 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits
144The stream is liquid sludge from tanneries.
311The tannery waste is the organic residue described by that class.

When several characterizations apply, the registration flowchart picks the primary one. A 3-digit class doesn't replace the flowchart or the exclusions.
