Is Ontario 266 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 266 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 266 cover?

Waste streams that hold phenol, such as cresylic acid, caustic phenolate, phenolic oil and creosote. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.

Is phenol waste Ontario 266 or another class?
