What is a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note?

A Hazardous Waste Consignment Note is a legal document required for the transport of hazardous waste. It ensures that waste is managed, transported, and disposed of safely and in compliance with the law. This document is similar to the Dangerous Goods Note used for chemical shipping and is crucial for maintaining a clear audit trail.
