What Is A Consignment Note?

This is used to follow the waste from where it is created to the final disposal.

Waste producers have to complete a consignment note to accompany the movement of hazardous waste.

There are 3 main types of consignment:

Single: This involves one single movement of special waste to one consignee for either: recovery, treatment, recycling or disposal.

Succession: This is repetitive movement of the same type of special waste from the same producer/consignor to a consignee’s resource.

Carrier’s Round: When a range of different producers collects the same type of special waste.
