Waste transfer notes

Duty of Care paperwork
in 30 seconds, not 10 minutes.

Every collected skip needs a waste transfer note. Skip Technology pre-fills the WTN from the job — EWC code, your carrier licence, the customer's details and the tip's permit — and produces a signed-ready branded PDF you can print or email.

The legal bit

What a WTN must contain — all handled.

  • Description of the waste and EWC code (pick from the common skip codes, e.g. 17 09 04 mixed C&D)
  • Quantity, and how it's contained (skip size auto-fills)
  • Transferor (your customer) and transferee (you, with your carrier registration)
  • Destination — the tip or transfer station and its permit number
  • Transfer date, SIC code and signature boxes for both parties

Keep every note for two years — yours are stored forever, searchable by customer, job or date.

FAQ

Waste transfer note questions

What is a waste transfer note?

The Duty of Care record required under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 whenever non-hazardous waste changes hands — e.g. when you collect a skip. It records what the waste is (EWC code), who transferred and received it, and where it's going. Both parties keep it for two years.

What EWC code do I use for a mixed skip?

Most mixed construction skips are 17 09 04 (mixed C&D waste). Household clearances are typically 20 03 01, inert concrete/brick loads 17 01 07, and soil 17 05 04. Skip Technology has the common codes built in.

Do WTNs still apply after digital waste tracking starts?

Yes. Defra's Digital Waste Tracking Service covers the receipt of waste at permitted sites from 1 October 2026. The Duty of Care transfer note between producer and carrier is still required — they run side by side.
