Waste Transfer Notes for Skip Hire

Every skip that leaves a customer site needs a waste transfer note. With dozens of collections a day, paper notes are a bottleneck. QWTN gives your drivers a faster way to stay compliant.

The paperwork pain

The same gaps show up job after job, and most only surface when someone asks to see a note you can't find. Here's where it usually goes wrong.

01

Every skip = a WTN

The volume of notes adds up fast when every single skip exchange needs one.

02

Drivers forget notes

Drivers are focused on the job, not paperwork. Notes get missed or left blank.

03

Tracking skips across sites

Knowing which skip is where, and which note covers which collection, gets messy fast.

04

Volume of paperwork

Filing, storing, and retrieving hundreds of paper notes a month is a full-time job.

Skip Hire Operators: common questions

Does every skip exchange need a waste transfer note?
Yes. Every time a skip is collected from a customer site, a waste transfer note must accompany it. This applies whether you are delivering or collecting the skip. Season tickets can cover regular collections from the same customer for up to 12 months.
Can my drivers create WTNs on their phones?
Yes. QWTN’s Carrier and Fleet plans include driver accounts. Each driver logs in on their phone and creates notes on-site, in real time. No paper, no office bottleneck.
What is the best plan for a skip hire company?
The Carrier plan (£29/month) is the most popular choice for skip hire operators. It includes up to 5 team members, fleet management, container tracking, collection scheduling, and waste reporting.
