Mandatory Digital Waste Tracking System

Waste centre, digital tracking of refuse

Operators of waste receiving sites must use the Digital Waste Tracking System from 1 October 2026.

This excludes Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs).

Digital waste tracking will make it easier to understand the waste created and what happens to it. Businesses can use this information to reuse and recycle more. It will also help fight against waste crime.  

All four governments in the UK agreed to work together to introduce a UK-wide Digital Waste Tracking System. In Wales, Natural Resources Wales will be enforcing the Regulations.
