Waste Transfer Notes

London House Clearance supplies clear, accurate waste transfer notes for all applicable waste removals. These documents are a legal requirement under UK waste law and form a vital part of demonstrating correct disposal and compliance with your Duty of Care.

Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, business or contractor, understanding waste transfer notes protects you from liability and ensures your waste is handled responsibly. Our service removes the complexity by managing both the removal and the paperwork correctly.

What Are Waste Transfer Notes?

Waste transfer notes are legal documents required when non-hazardous waste is transferred from one party to another. They record what waste was moved, who produced it, who carried it, and where it was taken for disposal or recovery.

These records demonstrate that waste has been passed to a licensed waste carrier and sent to an authorised facility. They are essential evidence of compliance with UK environmental law.

Who Needs Waste Transfer Notes?

Waste transfer notes are required for many individuals and organisations, including:

• Businesses producing commercial waste
• Landlords and letting agents
• Property managers and managing agents
• Builders and tradespeople
• Office managers and facilities teams
• Homeowners using professional waste removal services

Anyone who produces waste has a legal responsibility to ensure it is transferred correctly and documented.

What Information a Waste Transfer Note Includes

Key Details Recorded

Each waste transfer note includes:

• Description and quantity of the waste
• How the waste is contained
• Date and location of transfer
• Details of the waste producer
• Details of the licensed waste carrier
• Destination facility details

Accurate records ensure traceability from collection to final disposal or recycling.

Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees

Waste transfer notes are included as part of our professional waste removal service where legally required. There are no hidden charges for documentation.

Pricing is influenced by:

• Type and volume of waste
• Labour and handling required
• Disposal and recycling routes

All costs are explained clearly in advance.

Why Professional Documentation Is Better Than DIY Disposal

DIY disposal often leaves waste producers without proper records, increasing the risk of non-compliance. Council services do not always provide transfer documentation suitable for commercial or landlord use.

Using a professional service ensures:

• Correct documentation is issued
• Waste is handled legally
• Clear audit trails are maintained
• Reduced risk of fines or enforcement action

Legal Compliance and Duty of Care

UK law requires waste producers to comply with Duty of Care regulations. This includes ensuring waste is transferred only to a licensed waste carrier and that a waste transfer note is completed.

London House Clearance operates fully within these requirements, ensuring all transfers are lawful and properly recorded. This keeps you fully compliant and protected.

Recycling-First and Responsible Disposal

Waste transfer notes also support environmental responsibility by tracking where waste goes. We prioritise recycling and recovery wherever possible.

Only non-recyclable waste is sent for final disposal, reducing landfill use and supporting sustainable waste management.

Experienced, Insured and Professional Teams

Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in waste handling and documentation. We understand the importance of accuracy, compliance and professionalism.

With extensive experience across domestic and commercial waste streams, we ensure your paperwork is as reliable as our removal service.
