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
17 02 01
wood
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. Anything off a build, refurb, strip-out or demolition job. The test is where it came from: if it came out of building work it is chapter 17, even when the same material also appears in chapter 20.
Which chapter this is

Construction and demolition wastes (including excavated soil from contaminated sites)
Anything off a build, refurb, strip-out or demolition job. The test is where it came from: if it came out of building work it is chapter 17, even when the same material also appears in chapter 20.

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