Light fuels, waste such as gasoline, kerosene & other thin fuel oils, in Ontario's organic fuels group.

Is Ontario 221 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 221 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 221 cover?

Gasoline, kerosene and diesel waste go in the light-fuel class. So do drainage, washings and bottom material from light-fuel tanks, and residues from cleaning up a light-fuel spill. Heavy fuel has its own class, as does petroleum distillate discarded from solvent use.

Is light fuel Ontario 221 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits
221The stream is discarded light fuels and their tank or spill residues, including gasoline and diesel.
222The waste comes from heavy fuel, including bunker fuel or asphalt.
213The petroleum distillate was used as a solvent rather than as fuel.

Keep the fuel type and the source of any tank or clean-up residue with the classification. The liquid’s appearance alone doesn't tell light fuel from heavy fuel.
