These are some of the most commonly-asked questions about Waste Transfer Notes according to the People Always Ask section of Google’s search results. If there are any questions that we have not covered, do not hesitate to get in touch with Clearabee and request a call back.

Let’s get started…

However, it’s worth mentioning that a consignment note is not needed for the transferal of domestic hazardous waste to an initial collection point unless it’s dealing with asbestos.

Each Waste Transfer Note should be filled out by a business as completely as possible, signed and kept on record for 2 years. It should be produced if and when requested by an officer of the Environment Agency or an enforcement officer from your local authority.
