ComplyOnSiteIs Ontario 213 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Ontario 213 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 213 cover?
This class covers petroleum distillates used as solvents, including white spirits, Varsol and thinners. It sits with Ontario’s non-halogenated spent solvent classes. Petroleum origin alone doesn't put every oil or fuel here, because light fuel and used lubricating oil have their own classes.
Is petroleum-distillate solvent Ontario 213 or another class?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 213 | The stream is waste petroleum-distillate solvents, including white spirits, Varsol and thinners. |
| 212 | The waste is an aliphatic solvent such as acetone or an alcohol. |
| 221 | The material is discarded light fuel, such as gasoline, kerosene or diesel. |
| 241 | The waste stream contains at least 2% halogenated organic material by weight. |
Record the solvent type and how it was used. A petroleum-derived solvent, a light fuel and a crankcase lubricant can fall in different classes, though all are petroleum-based.
