Description

This document is a guide for the waste management industry in managing waste and hazardous waste in Alberta. It provides guidance to sections of the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act and the Waste Control Regulation. Extensive lists of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes are provided, in order to eliminate the need for laboratory analysis of these wastes. Generators are encouraged to use any available knowledge of their waste to reduce the amount of analysis required in classification. This guide holds generators responsible for classifying their own waste and for determining if the waste is prohibited from landfilling.
