Every movement of chemicals or WEEE waste requires a consignment note by law which you must keep on record for 3 years. A note is needed for all movements of hazardous waste, including collections by registered waste carriers and movements between premises within the same business, as it tracks the waste from collection to disposal. Evolve will provide you will the relevant documentation needed to transport the waste from your premises to the end disposal point, providing you with a full audit trail of all waste movements.

DID YOU KNOW?

Waste producers no longer need to register with an environment agency before hazardous waste collections. This means any previous registrations become invalid. However, you still need to supply your hazardous waste contractor(s) with a 6-digit code for them to complete any hazardous waste consignment note. This code needs to be relayed to all contractors and used consistently for all hazardous waste. The EA requires you to use the first 6 digits of your company name as this code. If your name is shorter than 6 digits, the shortfall is made up with ‘q’s. You will need to confirm the 6-digit code.
