Waste Classification & Registration
Meeting the Needs of Industry
print this page

Under waste regulations, generators of liquid industrial and hazardous wastes must manage the classification, registration, transfer and disposal of these wastes in a prescribed manner. These wastes are regulated and monitored from the moment of generation to their ultimate destination; a term often referred to as "cradle to grave".

 
 

LEHDER can assist facilities with these requirements by:
Identifying waste streams
Conducting waste sampling and analysis of these streams
Classifying wastes
Assisting with annual waste registration requirements (ie. HWIN)
Ensuring waste carriers are certified
Providing advice regarding proper manifest completion
Auditing of waste carriers, and waste treatment and disposal sites
Assist facilities with addressing and disposal restrictions of hazardous waste
Conducting training sessions, including customized in-house training programs
Creating a database system for tracking waste

HWIN and Land Disposal Restriction - HWIN Upgrade

All generators of inorganic hazardous wastes will need to update their HWIN registration to reflect each specific waste stream and its characterization. Previously, if a facility had multiple hazardous waste streams with the same class code and physical state, only one registration could be entered into HWIN for all streams.

Effective August 20, 2007, HWIN has been upgraded to allow each generator to register each individual waste stream and its characterization in accordance with the new regulatory requirements.

Note that Reg. 347 requires each waste stream to be registered. This was difficult, if not impossible, to achieve using the previous version of HWIN.
