How do Canadian codes for lead-painted debris differ?

Under Quebec article 4, residential construction, dismantling or renovation debris coated with paint containing metals or metalloids is not assimilated. Other painted debris needs its own article 4 assessment.

How should lead-painted debris be described for collection in Canada?

Record the building use, the paint contaminants and any waste-test results. An Ontario lead candidate uses the TCLP extract result, not the total lead in a paint sample.
