    Contaminated receptacles

Use L02 for contaminated receptacles.

Contaminated receptacles such as drums & pails, in Quebec's group of hazardous materials with contamination.

Is Quebec L02 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. L02 is a Quebec residual hazardous-material category. The material must meet the regulatory definition first, and still meet it after the exclusions and quantity rules are applied.

Record L02 as the Quebec MDR category. For dangerous goods in transport, show the MDR code apart 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 L02 cover?
