Heavy fuels, waste such as bunker oil, thick fuel oils & tars, in Ontario's organic fuels group.

Is Ontario 222 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 222 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 222 cover?

Heavy-grade fuels. Examples are bunker fuel or asphalt, washings, drainage and bottom material from tanks that held heavy fuel, and residue from cleaning a heavy-fuel spill.

Is heavy fuel Ontario 222 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits
222The stream is heavy-grade fuels.
221The stream is light fuel or residue from light fuel.

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