Ontario group: miscellaneous organic wastes and mixed wastes.

Soap & detergent waste from cleaning product plants, in the miscellaneous organic & mixed group.

Is Ontario 262 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 262 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 262 cover?

Soap and detergent waste, such as waste from laundry operations. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.
