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
17 06 05
construction materials containing asbestos
That second line is the official List of Wastes description. Writing it out is what makes the note match the code.

Which chapter this is
Chapter 17 — Building and demolition work
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.
