Waste Transfer Notes for Landscapers
If you remove green waste, soil, or rubble from a customer site, you need a waste transfer note. Most landscapers do not know this. QWTN makes it simple to stay compliant — even for small loads.
Sound familiar?
The paperwork pain
Most don’t know they need WTNs
Any business that transports controlled waste needs a waste transfer note. Yes, that includes garden waste.
Green waste codes are unclear
Is it 20 02 01 or 20 03 01? The right EWC code depends on what you are carrying.
Small loads feel like overkill
A trailer of hedge trimmings still needs a note. The law does not have a minimum threshold.
No system for occasional waste
You do not do this every day, so you do not have a system. That is when mistakes happen.
