    Discarded chemical fertilizer

Ontario group: miscellaneous inorganic wastes and mixed wastes.

Discarded chemical fertilizer, an inorganic waste thrown away unused, in Ontario's miscellaneous inorganic & mixed waste group.

Is Ontario 147 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 147 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 147 cover?

Discarded chemical fertilizer material. Examples are ammonia-, urea-, nitrate- or phosphate-bearing liquids, sludges and residues from a nitrogen-fertilizer plant.

Is discarded fertilizer Ontario 147 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits
147The stream is discarded chemical fertilizer material.
