The law has changed.
Digital Waste Tracking is mandatory for permitted waste receiving sites in England and Wales from 1 October 2026. It becomes mandatory in Scotland and Northern Ireland in January 2027. You must record each receipt of waste and send that movement to Defra using approved software. A Digital Waste Tracking record is not a waste transfer note — you still need those — and regulators can spot gaps in real time.
The Risk
Non-compliance carries real penalties. Regulators can issue fixed fines of £1,000 (rising to £1,500 if paid late), or variable fines with no cap in England (up to £40,000 in Scotland) for serious or repeated breaches — plus enforcement costs and, in the worst cases, criminal prosecution with unlimited fines. IntelliWaste helps you stay compliant so you don’t face penalties.

Digital waste tracking is mandatory for permitted receiving sites in England & Wales.
Phase 1 – January 2027
Digital waste tracking becomes mandatory for permitted receiving sites in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Phase 2 – Spring 2027
