    Tannery sludge and residue

Use M02 for sludge and residue from tanneries.

Leather tannery sludge & residues from tanning hides, in Quebec's group of other hazardous materials.

Is Quebec M02 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. M02 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 M02 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 M02 cover?

This Schedule 4 category for sludge and residue from tanneries. It sits in Quebec's Other hazardous materials group, so choose it from the material's actual form, composition and source.
