Common Questions

WTN questions, answered.

Are digital Waste Transfer Notes legally valid in the UK?

Yes. WasteBolt WTNs meet the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Duty of Care Regulations, and electronic signatures are legally binding under the Electronic Communications Act 2000. They are accepted by the EA, NRW, SEPA and NIEA.

Can my driver complete the WTN on their phone?

Yes. WasteBolt is built for the phone first, so drivers can create and sign notes in the cab or on the loading bay. Pickers, the date field and weight fields are all touch-friendly.

What is an EWC code and why does it matter?

The European Waste Catalogue (EWC) code is a six-digit classification for every type of waste, written XX XX XX — for example 17 05 04 for soil. WasteBolt checks the format and lets you search the full list, because a wrong code can invalidate a note at inspection.

When do I need a hazardous waste consignment note instead?

When the waste is classified as hazardous under one or more HP codes (HP1–HP15). WasteBolt’s hazardous form adds HP codes, POPs components with concentrations, consignment code generation and special handling requirements.

What is an RPS number and when do I need one?

A Regulatory Position Statement (RPS) is issued by the EA when a permit or exemption doesn’t apply. Part C needs either a permit or exemption number, or a valid RPS number such as "RPS 123" or "RPS 123 v1.0". WasteBolt checks the format and warns you if neither is given.
