Free Note Generator
Create a single Waste Transfer Note for free without an account — no sign-up required.
1. What is the Free Note Generator?
The Free Note Generator at qwtn.co.uk/notes/new lets anyone create a legally formatted UK Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note (WMC2A) without creating an account. It is a guided step-by-step form that walks through all five sections. At the end, you can print the note or save it as a PDF. No data is stored on QWTN servers — it exists only in your browser session.
2. Rate limiting
The free generator allows one note per day per device. After you print a note, a cookie is set (qwn_anon_date) that blocks further notes until midnight. If you need more than one note per day, you must sign up for a QWTN account. The rate limit screen shows a progress bar at 10/10 and a link to create a free account.
3. Step 0 — Note type
Choose between a One-Off Note (single transfer) and a Season Ticket (multiple transfers between the same parties). The selected type controls how Section D is presented.
4. Step 1 — Section A (Waste)
Enter the waste description, select one or more EWC codes, choose containment types, and enter the quantity. All four are required to advance. A "Show guidance" button at the top of the page reveals help text for every field.
5. Step 2 — Section B (Transferor)
Enter the transferor's name, company, address, postcode, and at least one B3 role checkbox (producer, carrier, etc.). If the transferor is a carrier, the carrier registration number and type are also required.
6. Step 3 — Section C (Transferee)
Enter the transferee's name, company, address, and at least one C3 role checkbox (permit holder, carrier, etc.). If the transferee is a carrier, registration details are required.
7. Step 4 — Section D (Transfer details)
Enter the transfer address, date, time, and optional broker details. For season tickets, set the valid-until date.
8. Step 5 — Preview and Print
The preview step shows the fully formatted WTN document. Click "Print / Save PDF" to open the browser print dialog. This sets the daily-use cookie. Clicking "Start over" resets the form for a new note. A sign-up call-to-action is shown for users who want cloud storage, signatures, and templates.
