Waste transfer notes and Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes
Annually, under the Duty of Care, all customers are required to send us a signed Controlled Waste Transfer Note (CWTN). We are unable to collect waste or recycling without a valid CWTN. Customers are required to keep a copy of their CWTN for two years.
On the Controlled Waste Transfer Note it will ask for Standard Industry Classification code (SIC code) which describes what sort of business you are. It is a five digit number and can be found on the Companies House website.
