Ontario group: miscellaneous organic wastes and mixed wastes.

Graphic-arts waste from printing, such as spent inks & cleaning solvents, in Ontario's miscellaneous organic & mixed waste group.

Is Ontario 265 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 265 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 265 cover?

Waste from graphic-arts work, such as adhesive, glue, etching liquid and other wash. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.
