Digital waste transfer notes, ready before the mandate hits.

Digital waste tracking becomes mandatory for waste site operators in the UK from 1 October 2026 in England and Wales, and 1 January 2027 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. DWTN gives you an audit-ready digital waste transfer note — signature, GPS location, and photos captured on the spot.

How it works

Built around how drivers and site admins actually work, not around a form.

1

A driver creates a note on-site

Signature, GPS location, and photos are captured on the device, at the moment the waste is transferred — not filled in later from memory.

2

Carrier and site details are already filled in

Company, driver, and vehicle details pull from your account defaults, so the driver spends seconds per note, not minutes.

3

The note is saved straight away

Even with no signal — DWTN can save a note on the device and send it automatically as soon as the connection comes back.

4

Admins export what they need, when they need it

Download any note as PDF or CSV, or export a pre-filled copy of the government's official "Receipt of waste" template — ready for audits or your own records.

Compliance

What DWTN does — and, just as importantly, what it doesn't.

The UK government's Digital Waste Tracking service becomes mandatory for waste site operators from 1 October 2026 in England and Wales, and 1 January 2027 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Paper waste transfer notes won't cut it once digital record-keeping is the expectation — and switching systems under deadline pressure is worse than switching early.

DWTN gives you a trackable, exportable digital record — signed, timestamped, and located — that's ready whenever you need to produce one, in the format you need it in.

Where DWTN sits in the process: DWTN submits your waste transfer note data directly to the Environment Agency's Digital Waste Tracking service via their official API, as a registered software provider. Your business remains responsible for the accuracy of the information recorded and for meeting its own waste duty of care obligations.

Everything a waste transfer note needs — captured in seconds

Built around how drivers and site admins actually work, not around a form.

Signature & location capture

Every note records the driver's signature, GPS location, and the exact time it was created — captured on-device, not on a scanned form.

Company & driver details pre-filled

Carrier, receiving site, and vehicle details fill in automatically from company and driver defaults, so drivers spend seconds per note, not minutes.

Export-ready records

Download any note as PDF or CSV, or export a pre-filled copy of the government's official “Receipt of waste” template — ready for audits, EA requests, or your own record-keeping.

Your data, isolated and backed up
