**FAQ / Service guidance**

Jurisdiction, waste classification, generator duties, and changing requirements.

## Questions, answered

### Which regulations apply to my waste?

Requirements depend on the jurisdiction, generator, waste classification, quantity, storage, transport, and destination. Greenflow can explain the service requirements, but the generator should obtain legal or regulatory advice when needed.

### Who is responsible for classifying the waste?

The generator remains responsible for accurate information and classification. Greenflow reviews the supplied data and may request testing, profiles, safety data sheets, or other evidence before acceptance.

### Do rules differ by province or state?

Yes. Definitions, generator duties, storage limits, shipping documents, and approved destinations can differ. Each site and waste stream must be reviewed for its own jurisdiction.

### How do I know whether a material is regulated?

Start with the product identity, process, contaminants, physical properties, and applicable lists or characteristics. When the answer is unclear, pause shipment and arrange a documented classification review.

### How are regulatory changes handled?

Greenflow updates service procedures when a confirmed requirement affects the work. Customers are notified when a change requires new information, containers, documents, timing, or commercial terms.
