Digital Waste Tracking for Waste Transfer Stations

Digital waste tracking for waste transfer stations works by capturing every load as it crosses the weighbridge and reporting it to Defra automatically. As a permitted receiving site, your station is in scope for Phase 1, which means each load received needs recording and submitting via the Receipt of Waste API within the reporting deadline.

Rather than bolt on another system, we build the recording step into your existing pre-acceptance and weighbridge process, so staff capture EWC codes, quantities and onward movement once, and the record flows straight through to your Defra reporting and your waste transfer note.

For every load you take in, you'll need to record the EWC code, the quantity received, where it came from, and what happens to it: bulking for onward movement, or rejection at pre-acceptance. The table below gives example EWC codes seen at transfer stations; always confirm the correct code against the current List of Wastes before using it.

No two transfer stations run the same way. We build the app around your weighbridge, your pre-acceptance checks and how you handle rejected loads, rather than asking you to change your process to fit the software. Staff enter data once at the point of weighing, and it's used for the waste transfer note, your internal records and your Defra submission.
