This one can't go on a transfer note
Hazardous waste — it needs a consignment note.
The star on the code is what makes it hazardous. Hazardous waste moves on a consignment note, not a waste transfer note, and the carrier and the site both need to be able to take it. Our free note tool refuses these codes on purpose — putting one on a transfer note is the mistake, not the fix.
What to write on the note
08 01 11
waste paint and varnish containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances
That second line is the official List of Wastes description. Writing it out is what makes the note match the code.

Same stuff, different code
The code depends on where the load came from, not just what it is. Use these when the paint or adhesive is left over from a job, not cleared out of somebody’s house.
Which chapter this is
Chapter 08 — Trade paint and adhesive
Wastes from the manufacture, formulation, supply and use (MFSU) of coatings (paints, varnishes and vitreous enamels), adhesives, sealants and printing inks
Use these when the paint or adhesive is left over from a job, not cleared out of somebody’s house.

WasteBoss is not a regulator. Codes are a starting point — if a load is borderline, the tip or your regulator decides.
