On a waste transfer note
Fine to carry on a transfer note.
Non-hazardous. Put the code, a plain description, how much and whether it was loose or in something — one line per type of waste on the load.
What to write on the note
15 01 01
paper and cardboard packaging
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. The box, wrap, pallet or drum something came in. Use these when what you are carrying is the packaging itself, separated out.
Which chapter this is
Chapter 15 — Packaging
Waste packaging; absorbents, wiping cloths, filter materials and protective clothing not otherwise specified
The box, wrap, pallet or drum something came in. Use these when what you are carrying is the packaging itself, separated out.

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