Does Nunavut have its own waste codes?

Nunavut’s guideline combines territorial generator, carrier and receiver registration with federal hazardous-waste and TDG classification. No separate Nunavut code catalogue has been confirmed.

What are the collection and shipping rules in Nunavut?

Hazardous waste over 5 L or 5 kg moved within Canada must have a movement document. The generator, carrier and receiver each complete and sign their part. Original manifest forms come from the Department of Environment. Air and marine shipments also use their mode-specific dangerous-goods documents.

When is Nunavut waste excluded or below the paperwork threshold?

PlaceExclusions, thresholds and applicable routes
NunavutConfirm the actual federal shipment exclusions before getting a movement document. A regulated federal shipment of exactly 5 kg or 5 L is not below the federal threshold. Mercury-containing or Class 6.2 waste can’t use the ordinary small-shipment exclusion. Household origin is not an exclusion when someone other than the individual whose waste it is transports it. Appendix H storage and registration quantities are not shipment exemptions. s. 8.3; Appendix H Waste glycol without dangerous contaminants is outside the guideline’s TDG and federal hazardous-waste route, but it must be shipped south. Municipal sewage lagoons can’t accept it. Batteries, mercury-containing products and solvents go by the appropriate southern receiver or recycling route. Recycling alone doesn’t remove their transport or movement duties. ss. 14–17
