How many waste transfer notes does a demolition site need?

Every load of waste leaving a demolition site needs its own waste transfer note. On a busy site, that can mean dozens per day across multiple waste streams (concrete, metals, timber, hazardous materials). Season tickets can reduce the volume for regular collections of the same waste type.

What happens if asbestos is found during demolition?

Asbestos is hazardous waste and requires a consignment note (not a standard WTN), a licensed asbestos removal contractor, and disposal at an authorised hazardous waste facility. The EWC code is 17 06 05* for construction materials containing asbestos.

Can QWTN handle multiple waste streams on one site?

Yes. QWTN supports multiple waste types per note and per site. The Carrier and Fleet plans include waste reporting so you can see tonnage by waste type, by site, and by month — essential data for site waste management plans.

The paperwork pain

Multiple waste streams per site

A single demolition produces concrete, metals, timber, hazardous materials, and soil. Each stream needs correct documentation.

Asbestos and hazardous materials

Pre-demolition surveys often reveal asbestos, lead paint, or contaminated soil. Hazardous waste documentation errors carry severe penalties.

High volume of notes

Dozens of loads per day across multiple waste types. Paper-based systems cannot keep up on a busy demolition site.

Strict regulatory scrutiny

Demolition sites face frequent EA inspections. Every load must have a traceable, accurate waste transfer note.
