A waste manifest produced by Environment Canada is an accepted dangerous goods
shipping document despite the requirements of Section 3.5 of the TDG Regulations. The
waste manifest may be used as a dangerous document because Section 3.5(7) allows that
the UN number required in the description of each of the dangerous goods may be
included in the shipping document before the shipping name.
- The waste manifest is used when shipping a dangerous good that is no longer usable in its
original form and is intended for treatment, disposal or recycling. A waste manifest is a
serialized pre-printed form which is only available through government offices. In order to
obtain this document, please call Alberta Environment, Reclamation Policy Branch at (780)
427-0666 (for a toll free call in Alberta dial 310-0000).
