ComplyOnSiteIs Ontario 211 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Ontario 211 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 211 cover?
Aromatic solvents and their residues. Examples are benzene, toluene or xylene used as solvents, and their residues.
Is aromatic solvent Ontario 211 or another class?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 211 | The stream is residues and solvents of the aromatic type. |
| 212 | The solvent or its residue is aliphatic rather than aromatic. |
When several characterizations apply, the registration flowchart picks the primary one. A 3-digit class doesn't replace the flowchart or the exclusions.
