Guide to Yukon Special Waste Regulations
If you work with special waste in any way, you should be aware of your legal obligations under the Yukon Special Waste Regulations. The regulations were developed to protect the environment and the health of our families by ensuring the safe handling and disposal of special wastes.
Under the regulations, anyone who generates, stores, handles, mixes, transports, disposes or releases special wastes is considered a waste manager. A waste manager is legally responsible for knowing and complying with the regulations.
A key element of the Special Waste Regulations is the prohibition against the unauthorized release of special waste into the environment. The prohibition is supported by a tracking and reporting system for monitoring special wastes.
The Special Waste Regulations together with federal and territorial laws for transporting dangerous goods, complete a cradle-to-grave management system for dangerous goods handled in the Yukon.
