What Documentation Do I Need to Keep When Hiring a Waste Carrier?

AI Summary

When hiring a waste carrier for your business, it's essential to keep specific documentation to comply with legal responsibilities. Here’s a summary of the required documentation based on Welwyn Hatfield council information:

Documentation Required Details
Waste Transfer Note (WTN) A WTN must describe the waste being removed and be signed by both the waste producer and the carrier. Copies must be kept for at least two years by both parties.
License Check Ensure the waste carrier is registered and has a valid waste carrier's license. This can be verified on the waste carrier register.

Keeping these documents not only complies with your legal duty of care but also protects you from potential fines for illegal waste disposal.
