Waste Transfer Notes for Hospitality & Restaurants

Restaurants, pubs, and hotels produce food waste, glass, cardboard, and mixed refuse every day. Every collection by your waste carrier needs a waste transfer note. QWTN makes it painless.

Sound familiar?

The paperwork pain

Simpler Recycling mandate confusion

New rules require separate collection of recyclables. Your WTNs need to reflect what you are actually sending.

Multiple waste streams

Food waste, glass, cardboard, cooking oil, mixed refuse — each stream needs the right EWC code.

Weekly collections add up

With 2-3 collections per week, paper notes pile up fast. Who is filing them?

Audit trail missing

When the EA asks for your records, scrambling through a drawer of crumpled notes is not a good look.
