Ontario group: miscellaneous organic wastes and mixed wastes.

Non-halogenated pesticide & herbicide waste, without chlorine or other halogens, in Ontario's miscellaneous organic & mixed group.

Is Ontario 269 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 269 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 269 cover?

Non-halogenated organic pesticide and herbicide waste. Examples are organophosphorus chemical waste and arsenical waste, including residue from MSMA or cacodylic acid. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.

CodeWhen it fits
