SiteHQ practical guide

Waste transfer note versus hazardous-waste consignment note

Which record follows non-hazardous waste and which follows hazardous waste.

The short answer

A waste transfer note records a transfer of non-hazardous business waste. Hazardous waste movements use a hazardous-waste consignment note. The required content, roles and retention are not the same.

A realistic example

Mixed non-hazardous strip-out waste may travel with a transfer note. Removed asbestos waste requires the hazardous-waste process and a consignment note.

How SiteHQ supports the workflow

SiteHQ keeps these as separate Preview catalogue records and can link the issued evidence to the project without pretending one form serves both purposes.
