Digital Waste Tracking
Calmeus helps waste receiving sites, carriers and brokers understand what digital waste tracking means for their operation. We can help you identify the rules that apply to your business, get set up and work out how to capture the information you'll need in day-to-day operations.
What receiving sites need to do
In-scope permitted or licensed waste receiving sites in England and Wales have been required to report waste receipts digitally since 1 October 2026. The requirement starts on 1 January 2027 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. For sites in England and Wales, the reporting window is two working days, counted from the day after receipt and excluding weekends and bank holidays.
How Calmeus can help
- Identify which reporting requirements apply to your sites and get help with registration.
- Review how information is captured at the gate, weighbridge or office and spot gaps before they lead to reporting errors.
- Give site teams a clear process for recording, checking and submitting the required information.
- Review your current systems and decide whether software would make reporting easier.
Preparing for the next phase
Defra plans to extend mandatory digital waste tracking to waste collectors from October 2027. Carriers, brokers and dealers can use the time to review the records they hold and identify where those records are captured.
