Take the Digital Waste Tracking Checklist
Answer 10 quick questions about your business, which takes about two minutes. You'll get a readiness score, the deadline that applies to you and a short action plan you can start on straight away.
The checklist works for permitted receiving sites already in Phase 1, and for carriers, brokers and dealers preparing for Phase 2. You don't need to be a customer of ours to use it.
What We Check
The digital waste tracking checklist looks at the areas where businesses most often get caught out:
Your role in the waste chain.
Receiving site, carrier, broker, dealer or a mix.
Where you operate.
England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, because dates differ.
Your current system.
Paper, spreadsheets or software, and whether it can submit to Defra.
Your Defra account and API code.
Whether you've registered and paid the annual fee.
Data quality.
How confident you are with EWC codes, disposal and recovery codes, and weights.
Hazardous waste and POPs.
Whether you handle loads that need extra information.
Deadlines.
How you'll make sure every load is reported within 2 working days.
Contingency.
What you'll do if the service is down or a driver has no signal.
Your Personal Action Plan
When you finish, you'll receive:
A readiness score
showing how prepared you are today
Your key dates
including when your obligations start
