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
20 01 40

Same stuff, different code
The code depends on where the load came from, not just what it is. The default chapter for clearance work — houses, flats, offices and shops.
Which chapter this is
Chapter 20 — Clearances and general rubbish
Municipal wastes (household waste and similar commercial, industrial and institutional wastes) including separately collected fractions
The default chapter for clearance work — houses, flats, offices and shops.

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