Waste Transfer Note

Template documentation for controlled waste transfers in compliance with UK environmental regulations

What is a Waste Transfer Note?

A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is a legal document required under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011. It must accompany all transfers of controlled waste between parties and be retained for a minimum of two years.

When is a WTN Required?

A WTN is required every time controlled waste is transferred from one party to another. This includes when we collect waste from your site, empty septic tanks, or remove waste from portable toilet units.

Your Duty of Care

As a waste producer, you have a legal duty of care to ensure your waste is handled correctly. This includes ensuring the carrier is registered with the Environment Agency and that appropriate documentation is completed.
