Waste transfer notes - consultation
Section 34 EPA: waste transfer notes have to be produced every time waste is transferred from one person to another
Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 permit the note to be electronic
EA has been developing and trialling edoc for years Now DEFRA is consulting on alternatives to the
whole system of waste transfer notes
Carrying waste
Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011:– As from 1 January 2014 the exemption from
registration for carriers of own waste has been withdrawn
– All businesses that “normally and regularly” transport their own waste must register with the Environment Agency
– Registration is free
– Not registering can carry a penalty of up to £5,000
ASA action on NWE Npower leaflet
The leaflet claimed:– In depth environmental studies had “shown this to be a
good location for a windfarm”
– "Estate agents questioned reported that: 'proximity to a wind farm simply was not an issue'"
– “Independent studies show that the location of the proposed wind farm would not have a negative effect on the local wildlife ..."
Bin barons beware the bin bible
DEFRA publishes guidance on weekly bin collections The “bin bible” attempts to demolish the “top ten tall
stories) used by “bin barons” to justify fortnightly collections
The government claims that “95%” of residents agree with keeping weekly collections
Pickles aims to destroy the “lazy left-wing myth” that fortnightly bin collections are needed to save money or increase recycling

What users are saying…
“Edoc will mean we could get rid of the paper Waste Transfer Notes sitting in 106 different locations – and put them all in one place online. That freed-up storage space can then be used for medical supplies.”
Stephen Sykes, Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust
“The edoc system is a brilliant idea and I’d encourage all companies to take it up. We have well over a quarter of a million paper WTNs that we have to scan and it will save our teams a great deal of time when it all goes electronic.”
Bernard Amos, Helistrat
"The new edoc system is set to have a huge impact for the waste industry. It overhauls the current paper-based system and transfers it online which will make the process more efficient and effective.”
Barry Dennis, Director General of ESA
