The law places a duty of care on you for the waste you generate. This means that you must account for what happened to it to ensure it is recovered or disposed of safely and without harm to the environment (to the extent required by law).
The system allows you to
“reconcile” what happened to your waste in two ways:
By recording the date it was received into an authorised Transfer Station (at which point the consignee takes responsibility for it)
By recording the disposal or recovery details.
It also allows you to link to supporting documentation.
To Add a New Shipment Record
(receipt at a transfer station):
1. Open up the Waste Shipment by clicking on its ID in the Waste Shipment view screen.
2. Click on New Shipment Record.
3. Select/Enter Document Type, Shipment No, Date Received into Transfer Station (using the calendar icon), Shipped Date, Quantity, Weight and any comments.
4. Save.
