Mandatory compliance started 1st October 2026

The first phase requires permitted waste-receiving sites to digitally record all waste movements within two working days. Traditional paper-based waste transfer notes will no longer be sufficient.

Don't get caught out, act now.

What your business needs to record digitally

Waste type & classification

Waste streams must be accurately categorised and logged using a central digital platform.

Carrier details

Who is transporting the waste must be digitally logged and linked to each waste movement record.

Waste movement data

Complete records of where waste originates, how it moves and where it goes must be compiled, in real time.

Receiving site information

Every receiving facility must be recorded digitally, replacing traditional paper transfer notes.
