    Used grease

Use A04 for used grease.

Used grease from machines & vehicles, such as spent lubricating grease, in Quebec's group of mineral oils & grease.

Is Quebec A04 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. A04 is a Quebec residual hazardous-material category. The material must first meet the regulatory definition and stay within it once the exclusions and quantity rules are applied.

Record A04 as the Quebec MDR category. For dangerous goods in transport, show the MDR code separately from the TDG shipping description. The category doesn't replace the UN number, shipping name, class or packing group.

A regulated interprovincial, import, export or transit movement may also need the federal movement document. Each document has its own scope, so the Quebec category alone doesn't settle the paperwork.

What does Quebec A04 cover?

A04 is a Schedule 4 category for used grease. It sits in Quebec's Mineral oils and grease group. Match it to the material's actual form, composition and source.
