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

That second line is the official List of Wastes description. Writing it out is what makes the note match the code.
