Waste Consignment Notes (WCN) should accompany
all types of waste transported
The WCN is the documentary evidence which is used
to demonstrate that the waste has been managed in
a responsible manner

The Waste Generator should complete Section A
and B of the WCN

A separate WCN should be completed for Hazardous
and Non Hazardous Waste

  clearly identify the waste type and any
  additional details such as problems the waste may
  present that will affect
• containment
• transport
• treatment
• disposal

At the Waste Management Facility the Waste
Transporter gives both WCN (white and blue) to be
signed.
The Waste Management Facility checks that
everything is in order, signs the WCN and then
hands back the white WCN.
12
The white WCN is then returned to the Waste
Generator to show that the waste has been handled
(or disposed) correctly
This can be done in the following ways

• Waste Transporter returns the white WCN to
• the waste generator

13

• the white WCN can be

Faxed to the Waste Generator
14

• the white WCN can be

sent by mail to the Waste Generator
15

• the white WCN can be

Sent monthly through monthly waste returns
16
When the Waste Generator receives the white WCN
it should be placed with the yellow WCN and
placed in the WCN file.
17
By using the WCN correctly you can now
demonstrate that the waste has been handled
appropriately.
