    Latex residue

Ontario group: resins and plastics.

Latex residue, left over from paint & rubber work as wet or dried latex, in Ontario's group of resins & plastics.

Is Ontario 231 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 231 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 231 cover?

Latex residue. Examples are discarded latex, latex crumb and latex residue.

Is latex residue Ontario 231 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits
231The stream is latex residue.
232The waste is a polymer resin rather than latex material.

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