Yes. You can create unlimited waste transfer notes without paying anything, ever. There is no trial period. The free tier includes WTN creation, PDF download, EWC code lookup, and EA carrier verification.

Do I need an account?

No. You can create and download a waste transfer note without creating an account or signing up. If you want to save your notes to the cloud, use e-signatures, or access season tickets, you need a paid plan, from £12 a month.

Are free WTNs legally valid?

Yes. Every WTN created through QWTN follows the WMC2A format and includes all 9 mandatory fields required by the Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991. Digital waste transfer notes have been legally valid since the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011.

There is no catch. The free tier is fully functional for creating and downloading waste transfer notes. Paid plans add features like cloud storage, e-signatures, season tickets, fleet management, and team accounts, but the core note creation is free forever.
