    Organic tannery residue

Ontario group: plant and animal wastes.

Organic tannery residue, left over from processing hides, in Ontario's group of plant & animal wastes.

Is Ontario 311 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Ontario 311 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 311 cover?

Organic tannery residue, such as fleshings, trimmings, vegetable-tanning liquor and bate solution. Whether it is hazardous is a separate decision under Ontario’s waste rules.

Is tannery residue Ontario 311 or another class?

CodeWhen it fits
311The stream is organic tannery residue.
144The material is liquid tannery sludge, not organic tannery residue.

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