What must be completed when managing waste according to UK regulations?

When managing waste according to UK regulations, it is essential to complete a waste transfer note. This document serves as a record of the transfer of waste from one party to another and is a legal requirement under the Control of Pollution (Amendment) Act 1989. It ensures that waste is handled responsibly, tracking its movement and ensuring compliance with regulations. The waste transfer note must include details such as the type and quantity of waste being transferred, the names and addresses of both the transferor and the transferee, and the method of disposal.

This practice helps prevent illegal dumping and ensures that waste is managed according to the necessary environmental standards, making it an integral part of waste management in the UK.
