ComplyOnSiteIs Quebec M01 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M01 is a Quebec residual hazardous-material category. The material has to meet the regulatory definition first, and still meet it once the exclusions and quantity rules are applied.
Record M01 as the Quebec MDR category. If the material is 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 movement between provinces, or into, out of or through Canada, 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 M01 cover?
This Schedule 4 category for discarded or no-longer-usable pharmaceutical preparations, medicines or cosmetics. It sits in Quebec's Other hazardous materials group, so choose it from the material's actual form, composition and source.

Is discarded pharmaceuticals and cosmetics always Quebec M01?
| Code | When it fits |

| M01 | The material is discarded or no-longer-usable pharmaceutical preparations, medicines or cosmetics. |
Pick between categories by the material's composition, physical form, concentration and source. Similar labels aren't interchangeable, and transport classification is a separate decision even when the Quebec category is clear.
