[[WTN]]s must be in place for each and every transfer of [[Non-Hazardous Waste]] however, a ''''season ticket'''' (a single waste transfer note that covers a series of non-hazardous waste transfers) can be used '''if''' the same type of waste is being transferred by the same carrier. If several sites are serviced by the same carrier with the same types of waste collected, these can be listed in a schedule to the season ticket but a record of the collection times and the quantity of waste should be maintained. A ''''season ticket'''' can last up to 12 months<ref name="DOC" />. | |||
A WTN is not required for non-hazardous waste if the waste holder does not change on the transfer of waste e.g. the waste is moved to other premises belonging to the same business. However, it is best practice that the business understands who has responsibility for that waste and a record is kept of internal transfers for audit purposes<ref name="DOC" />. | A [[WTN]] is not required for non-hazardous waste if the waste holder does not change on the transfer of waste e.g. the waste is moved to other premises belonging to the same business.
