Consignee returns are reports on any hazardous waste received, treated or disposed of by a business (the 'consignee').
These notes clarify 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.
Who is the consignee? A consignee in shipping is listed on the bill of lading (BOL). This person or entity is the shipment receiver and generally the owner of the shipped goods. Unless there are other instructions, the consignee is the entity or person legally required to be present to accept the shipment.
The consignee is the recipient of goods in a transaction, and their role extends far beyond merely receiving a shipment. From overseeing the delivery process to fulfilling legal and financial obligations, the consignee ensures that the goods reach their final destination smoothly and compliantly.
Any goods transport agency offering road transport services via a goods carriage can issue a consignment note. The note must be provided to the recipient of the service.
A consignment note will have five sections. You (the consignor) will complete sections A and B before the collection takes place. The waste carrier will complete section C when the waste is collected. You (the consignor) will then sign section D to confirm all the details are correct.
