The waste transfer note: what it is and how it works
Whenever waste changes hands, a record must follow it. Here is what a waste transfer note contains, who completes it, and how it relates to consignment notes and digital waste tracking.
What is a waste transfer note?
A waste transfer note records the transfer of waste from one party to another. It documents what the waste is, how much, and who is taking it, providing evidence that the duty of care has been met.
Hazardous waste: the consignment note
For hazardous waste, a consignment note replaces the standard transfer note and carries stricter requirements. Correct classification via the waste code is essential.
Records for your cigarette butts
Even for a diffuse waste like the cigarette butt, clean records are valuable: they show your butts are recovered, not dumped. Easy to Change handles the collection and recycling and provides the supporting records for your audits.
