Waste shipments are done in accordance with
the general criteria set out for “waste packaging” The volumes
and waste specifics for your operation may suggest one of
several ways to handle your waste materials. Here are some
examples:
Lab Packing: small volume containers
(approximately 20 litres or less) are packaged into containers
for containment and shipment.
Bulk Drums: Often times a firm will
generate small volumes of one waste stream and it is collected
and stored in 205 L (45 IG) drums. This material may be liquid,
sludge or solids that are stored in open or closed head drums.
These materials are assembled, labelled and shipped on a
periodic basis.
On-Site Storage: Materials are permitted to be stored on site for periods of 90 days. You must notify the MOE in writing of your intentions for disposal or ship materials off-site if this 90-day storage period is going to expire. Developing a program can ensure materials are shipped regularly and efficiently.
Bulk Liquid
Shipments: If your firm generates volumes which are not
“packaged” in containers (e.g. bulk tanks, pits, trenches etc.)
or if you have large volumes that justify bulk handling, these
materials can regularly or periodically be removed using vacuum
equipment. Whether they are neutral pH, oily water, acids,
bases, liquid or sludge, the right equipment can be coordinated
to handle your materials.
Bulk Solid Shipments: If you have
larger volume, solid chemical wastes, we can assist with the
most suitable equipment to handle these materials. They must be
solid with no liquid component, which may impact the materials
in storage or transit. |
