A month today, the way waste sites record what they take in changes for good.
From 1 October, every load arriving at a permitted site in England or Wales has to be entered into Defra's Digital Waste Tracking service within two working days. Every load. Not a monthly return.
The two things we get asked most:
"Won't my weighbridge software do it?" Some will. Worth asking your supplier to confirm in writing that they'll be filing for you from 1 October, and whether it costs extra.
"Can't I just use the spreadsheet upload?" At five loads a week, yes. At fifty it's a job in itself, and every slip is a compliance failure rather than a bit of admin.
We've built something that does it in about a minute a load, with a countdown on every one so nothing quietly runs out of time. Start for free, and tell us your numbers before you commit to anything.
