We have released a new short video designed to help industry professionals understand the waste transfer note – what it is, why it matters, and how to complete it correctly. Proper documentation is essential for compliance and responsible handling of waste refrigerant.
A waste transfer note (WTN) is a legal document used in the UK and many other countries to track the movement of controlled waste from one business to another. It is a key part of the regulatory framework designed to ensure that waste is handled responsibly, safely, and in compliance with environmental laws.
The WTN provides full traceability for waste, recording details such as:
- What type of waste is being moved
- Who produced the waste
- Who is transporting and receiving it
- Quantities and dates of transfer
For businesses handling hazardous or controlled waste, like refrigerants, completing a WTN correctly is essential. Not only does it help ensure compliance with the law, but it also protects the environment by making sure that waste is disposed of, recycled, or reclaimed responsibly.
By walking viewers step-by-step through the process, the video helps professionals avoid common mistakes and provides clear, easy-to-follow visual instructions.
For more official guidance on completing and retaining waste transfer notes, see the UK Government’s Dispose of business or commercial waste page on GOV.UK.
