A waste transfer note is a document used to track the transfer of waste from one location to another. It is a legal requirement in many countries, including the UK, and must be completed for each load of waste that is transferred.
Here are some of the key requirements for a waste transfer note:
-
Description of the waste: The waste transfer note must include a description of the waste being transferred, including the type of waste, its quantity, and its classification.
- Origin and destination of the waste: The waste transfer note must state the name and address of the person or company transferring the waste, as well as the name and address of the person or company receiving the waste.
- Dates of transfer: The waste transfer note must include the date the waste was transferred, as well as the expected date of delivery to the final destination.
- Signatures: The waste transfer note must be signed by the person transferring the waste and the person receiving the waste.
- Retention period: The waste transfer note must be retained by both the person transferring the waste and the person receiving the waste for at least two years.
- Amendments: Any amendments to the waste transfer note must be clearly marked and initialed by both the person transferring the waste and the person receiving the waste.
It's important to note that the specific requirements for a waste transfer note may vary depending on the country and jurisdiction in which the transfer is taking place. It's always best to check with local authorities to ensure that you are meeting all legal requirements.
