What is a Waste Transfer Note?
A Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is a mandatory UK form that tracks your business waste from creation to disposal. It details the waste, who handles it, and where it goes, ensuring legal compliance and protecting the environment from illegal dumping.
These are legally kept on file and accessible for at least 2 years.
While paperwork may be digitised, the core details captured by WTNs are still vital for compliance, thus they are typically produced as carbonless NCR (No Carbon Required) forms, with multiple copies for each party involved in the waste transfer.
The WTN notes must comply with the legal requirements set out in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011, including specific information that must be included on the form. Different variants of these exist for Scotland and Northern Ireland, post Windsor Agreement.

Personalise with your own details and company logo and we will print for you on Carbonless NCR.
