Waste codes · Chapter 20

20 01 35

TVs, monitors, laptops, screens (hazardous WEEE)

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
20 01 35
discarded electrical and electronic equipment other than those mentioned in 20 01 21 and 20 01 23 containing hazardous components
That second line is the official List of Wastes description. Writing it out is what makes the note match the code.

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