Waste Transfer Notes Explained for Window Installers

If you hand old windows to anyone, you have a legal duty of care for that waste. The paperwork that proves it is the waste transfer note - and if you can't produce one, you're exposed.

What a waste transfer note actually is

It's the document that records what waste was taken, from where, by whom, and where it's going. It links your job to a licensed carrier and a permitted destination. An electronic version (eWTN) does the same job digitally - emailed, searchable, no paper to lose.

Why fitters get caught out

Pay a cash casual clearance and you often get nothing. If that waste is later fly-tipped, the trail leads back to you - and the fine lands on the person who handed it over, not the taker.

What you get with PVC Recovery UK

Every collection generates an electronic waste transfer note within 24 hours - plus tonnage summaries for environmental returns when you need them. Registered upper-tier waste carrier, fully documented, every time.

Keep it simple

Book, collect, receive the eWTN by email, file it against the job. That's the whole process - and it's free.
