ComplyOnSiteIs Ontario 242 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Ontario 242 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 242 cover?
Pesticide and herbicide waste containing halogens. Examples are waste chlordane, mirex, silvex, 2,4-D or 2,4,5-T, and discarded pesticide liquid or residue containing halogens. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.
Is halogenated pesticide waste Ontario 242 or another class?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 242 | The stream is pesticide and herbicide waste containing halogens. |
When several characterizations apply, the registration flowchart picks the primary one. The 3-digit class doesn’t replace the flowchart or the exclusions.
