ComplyOnSiteWhere does the letter R go in an Ontario waste number?
After the 3-digit waste class. The letter R is the primary characterization in an Ontario waste number. The generator picks it by working through the whole registration flowchart, not by choosing the hazard that sounds closest to the waste’s name. If several characterizations apply, the first one the flowchart reaches is primary.
For a subject-waste shipment, enter the class-and-letter waste number in the waste details of the Ontario hazardous waste manifest. The generator registers the stream and certifies the shipment details. Streams under land-disposal-restriction notification must also name their secondary characterizations.
