The service is live now. Operators are already submitting receipt data to DEFRA. From October 2026 it's mandatory for every receiving site. From October 2027, carrier data is planned to join yours under the same Waste Tracking ID. If they don't match, it shows. Here's what most sites haven't thought about yet.
The EA turns up and asks for records on a specific load from three months ago. You're looking through a folder. The carbon copy is barely legible. That anxiety doesn't go away just because nothing happened last time.
You logged one weight. The carrier logged another. Right now nobody cross-references. From October 2026, DEFRA sees your data. From October 2027, the carrier's data is planned to join it under the same Waste Tracking ID, and a mismatch will be visible.
Carrier arrives. You need their licence number, vehicle reg, EWC code, and weight. Half of it you have to chase. Then you type it into three different places. Five minutes per load. Every load. Every day.
How it works
Wastrio creates the Waste Transfer Note and makes the digital submission from the same entry. Print the note if you still want it on paper.
The service is live now, and operators are already submitting. From October 2026, reporting your receipt data to DEFRA when waste arrives becomes mandatory for every receiving site. From October 2027, waste carriers submit their collection data separately. Both datasets reference the same Waste Tracking ID. DEFRA designed it that way deliberately.
If your records and the carrier's records don't match, DEFRA sees the gap. That's a risk paper never carried, and with the service live now, it's already real.
When waste arrives at a Wastrio site, you capture the carrier's details once at the gate. Wastrio generates the Waste Tracking ID and submits your receipt to DEFRA from that record. The carrier side is built too. It switches on when DEFRA opens carrier submissions, planned for October 2027.
