Differentiating between Solid and Hazardous Waste


We are often asked what can I, and what cannot I not put in my disposal bin. Only solid non-hazardous waste can be put into our disposal bins. Solid non-hazardous waste is any waste that is not liquid, and/or hazardous. So what is hazardous waste?


Hazardous waste, as listed under Ontario law (regulation 347), is broken down into 5 separate categories.


Listed Wastes

  • acute hazardous waste chemical
  • hazardous industrial waste
  • severely toxic waste


Characteristic Wastes

  • corrosive waste
  • ignitable waste
  • leachate toxic waste
  • reactive waste


Pathological Wastes

  • human and animal remains
  • other non-anatomical waste infected by disease


Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Wastes

  • PCB equipment, liquids, or material


Radioactive Wastes

  • wastes not under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Nuclear Commission


All of the aforementioned wastes are very dangerous, and harmful to both human health and the environment. These wastes must be properly stored, transported, treated, and disposed of. Failure to do so can pose a serious threat. If you are unsure of whether or not your waste is hazardous contact your local municipality, or visit
