ComplyOnSiteDoes Northwest Territories have its own waste codes?
The territorial guideline defines types of hazardous waste. The movement document has a waste-number field and a TDG description. No separate NWT code catalogue has been confirmed.
What are the collection and shipping rules in Northwest Territories?
A 6-part movement document normally goes with hazardous waste within the NWT and across provincial or territorial borders. The generator, carrier and receiver complete their parts, and the department gets copies at shipment and at receipt. A specified alternate record can be used for some used-oil movements.

| Northwest Territories | Hazardous waste doesn’t include household hazardous waste while it is on its way to a municipal collection depot. Once collected or consolidated, the normal hazardous-waste rules apply. It also excludes goods that are defective, surplus or otherwise unusable for their intended purpose while they are being returned directly to a manufacturer or supplier, and waste whose on-site disposal the regulator has authorized for the activity that generated it. ss. 1.1 and 3.1, hazardous waste definition Small quantities are hazardous waste generated in any month, or accumulated at any one time, at or below the Schedule V amount. The Schedule V amounts are 5 kg or L for all hazardous waste not otherwise specified, 1 kg or L for TDG Class 6.1 Packing Group I, 50 kg for waste batteries, 20 kg or L for contaminated snow or water, 500 kg for contaminated soil, 20 L for waste glycol, 20 kg for incinerator ash, 20 kg or L for waste paint, 20 L for used oil and 1 kg or L for leachable waste containing severely toxic contaminants. A severely toxic contaminant in pure form is hazardous waste in any quantity. Don’t mix, dilute or divide waste to avoid the definition. s. 1.1 small quantity definition; s. 3.1; Schedule V A container is outside the hazardous-waste definition only after normal handling has emptied it as far as possible, leaving no more than 0.1% of its original capacity or 0.2 L, whichever is less, and flammable vapours have been reduced below 20% of the lower explosive limit. This doesn’t cover a Class 2.3 toxic-gas container, or one that directly contacted TDG Class 6.1 Packing Group I material or a severely toxic contaminant. Rinsings are still judged by their own waste characteristics. s. 1.1 empty container definition; s. 4.4 Removed contaminated soil is normally hazardous waste. Contact the Environment Division to confirm an alternative record of disposal where the circumstances allow on-site remediation, use of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated soil in an asphalt paving plant, use of soil meeting industrial criteria as landfill cover, or use as industrial fill after a prior informed consent form has been completed. s. 3.2(e), Contaminated Soil/Snow/Water Water suitable for a municipal sewage lagoon isn’t hazardous waste, but the municipal sewer by-law and the municipality’s water licence must allow the discharge. Otherwise, contaminated snow or water is hazardous where a Schedule I contaminant exceeds its corresponding concentration. s. 3.2(e), Contaminated Soil/Snow/Water; Schedule I |
