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.
Extra rules apply
Upholstered seating in this code contains POPs.
Sofas, armchairs, sofa beds, futons, kitchen and dining chairs with padding, stools and beanbags from households have to be kept separate from other waste, must not be crushed or mixed in with general rubbish, and have to go for incineration rather than landfill or recycling. Mattresses are not POPs waste, but they still fall under this code.

That second line is the official List of Wastes description. Writing it out is what makes the note match the code.
