Ontario group: miscellaneous organic wastes and mixed wastes.

Photographic-processing waste, such as spent developer & fixer, in Ontario's miscellaneous organic & mixed waste group.

Is Ontario 264 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 264 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 264 cover?

Photographic processing waste, such as photochemical liquid, washing residue and sludge. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.
