Special Waste advisory notes 

These give advice clarifying the procedures for consigning special (hazardous) wastes and also, for certain types of waste, their potential hazardous properties and how they are classified in the EWC.  Their main purpose is to:

  • Assist the determination of whether a waste is special or not which may not be the case studied in the joint Agencies guidance WM2 - ‘Interpretation of the Definition and Classification of Hazardous Waste’.  They therefore complement rather than replace this guidance.
  • Assist the preparation and completion of paperwork accompanying the movement of special (hazardous) wastes, for instance multiple collections (carrier's rounds) and landed ships' waste.  They therefore complement SEPA's Guide to Consigning Special Waste pdf link (1.4mb)
