Does Manitoba Conservation issue hazardous waste carrier numbers to out-of-province companies that transport hazardous waste in Manitoba?
The Dangerous Goods Handling and Transportation Act recognizes hazardous waste transporter licences issued by other provinces. Hence, a Manitoba carrier number is not required if an out-of-province carrier is only transporting hazardous waste through Manitoba between other jurisdictions; in that case the carrier number, that is issued by the province wherein the carrier is based, is accepted in Manitoba. However, the recommended procedure is that an out-of-province carrier should apply for a Manitoba carrier number (i.e. submit to Manitoba Conservation an application for a licence to transport hazardous waste) if the carrier intends to pick up hazardous waste from generators in Manitoba or transport hazardous waste to receivers in Manitoba.
