    Organic acid waste

Ontario group: miscellaneous organic wastes and mixed wastes.

Organic acid waste, spent carbon-based acids, in Ontario's miscellaneous organic & mixed waste group.

Is Ontario 267 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 267 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 267 cover?

Organic acids. Examples are carboxylic or fatty acids, including formic, acetic and propionic acid waste, and sulphamic or another organic acid that could suit incineration. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.

Is organic acid waste Ontario 267 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits

When several characterizations apply, the registration flowchart picks the primary one. The 3-digit class doesn’t replace the flowchart or the exclusions.
