Special waste consignment notes, made for Scotland
North of the border, hazardous waste is called special waste, and it needs its own note. Consigns produces the Scottish special waste consignment note digitally, signed on site and stored for you, so a carrier in Scotland is covered just like one in England and Wales.
This page is about the software. The blog explains what these notes are in plain English.
Same load. Different paperwork.
The waste is the same. The form, the regulator and the words on it are not. Cross the border and the note has to change with you.

Keep it for At least 3 years 3–5 years, by party
Consigns picks the right note from where the collection happens, so you never hand over a Scottish job on an English form. Work both sides of the border on one tool. The England and Wales side is our hazardous waste consignment note software.
The SEPA note, done digitally
Built from the job data your team already entered, with a unique SEPA-issued code, no second form and no copying details twice.
Signed on site
The driver pulls up the job on a phone, checks the waste, and the customer signs on the screen. That finishes the carrier's part there and then.
Works in the Highlands
Out on a rural site with no signal, the app keeps going. Your driver takes the signature and finishes the job, and the device syncs once it is back online.
Kept for SEPA, found in seconds
A special waste consignment note must be kept for at least three years, under the Special Waste Regulations 1996 (as amended). Consigns holds every note for the full period. Find any record by date, customer or waste type, and pull it up the moment SEPA asks.
Because every job and note is already clean digital data, you are also set up for the move to digital waste tracking across the UK, not scrambling to catch up.
