    Create a compliant waste transfer note for every skip, truckload or fly-disposal risk.

    For tradespeople avoiding the fly-tipping prosecutions that increasingly trace back to the carrier. EWC codes, carrier details and declarations in under 5 minutes.

    Under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, anyone who produces, carries, or receives controlled waste must complete a Waste Transfer Note. Digital waste tracking becomes mandatory from October 2026.

    Disclaimer: This tool generates a Waste Transfer Note based on the information you provide. You are responsible for ensuring the waste description, EWC codes and carrier details are correct. SiteKiln does not verify waste carrier registrations or site permits.

    What the law actually says

    • The Environmental Protection Act 1990 (Duty of Care) makes you legally responsible for your waste from cradle to grave, even after a licensed carrier takes it.
    • A compliant WTN must include EWC codes, waste description, quantity, parties' details and signed declarations. Both parties must keep it for at least 2 years.
    • Unlimited fines on conviction for fly-tipping or breach of duty of care. Vehicle seizure is now routine.
