  • any processes (such as pre-treatments) that the waste has already been through
  • how the waste has been contained or packaged prior to its collection
  • the quantity of waste, including its weight
  • the place, date and time that the transfer of waste took place
  • the name and address of both the waste generator and the company removing it
