ComplyOnSiteIs Ontario 241 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Ontario 241 names the waste stream. Whether the waste is subject waste depends on its hazardous characterization or liquid-industrial status, and on the exclusions. The waste number also needs a primary characterization letter after the 3-digit class.
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 apply.
What does Ontario 241 cover?
Residues and solvents containing halogens. Examples are used perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride or another halogenated solvent, including dry-cleaning solvent. It also takes bottom material from a halogenated-solvent still, and residue or catalyst from making or recycling halogenated hydrocarbons. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.
