Ontario group: miscellaneous organic wastes and mixed wastes.

Waste amines, organic compounds that contain nitrogen, in the miscellaneous organic & mixed group.

Is Ontario 268 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 268 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 268 cover?

Amine waste, such as discarded ethanolamine, urea or tolidine, and waste sold as Flexzone or Monex. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.

Is amine waste Ontario 268 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits
268The stream is amine waste.

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