Legal Compliance

Digital WTNs carry the same legal weight as paper under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Duty of Care regulations.

Save Hours Every Week

Eliminate manual paperwork, chasing signatures, and filing. WasteBolt automates the entire compliance workflow end-to-end.

Avoid Costly Fines

Failure to maintain proper waste transfer records can result in fines up to £5,000 — or unlimited for hazardous waste.

Digital Waste Tracking Software
for Northern Ireland & the UK

The UK government's mandatory Digital Waste Tracking (DWT) service is live for waste receiving sites in England and Wales, and becomes mandatory in Northern Ireland and Scotland in January 2027. Licensed and permitted sites must report every load they receive digitally — alongside, not instead of, the Waste Transfer Note.

WasteBolt is already connected to the live Defra DWT production environment, submitting real waste movements today — so your sites are ready, with no last-minute scramble to comply.

Get Started on WasteBolt
01

Every load reported

Licensed and permitted waste receiving sites must report each load they accept to the digital waste tracking service — from January 2027 in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

02

WTNs still required

Digital waste tracking does not replace your duty of care. You still need a valid Waste Transfer Note for every transfer — WasteBolt creates both from the same data.

03

API software is the practical route

The government's spreadsheet upload is a temporary option. Software connected to Defra's DWT API, like WasteBolt, submits each load automatically.

04

Penalties for non-compliance

Sites that fail to report face enforcement action from their regulator — the EA, NRW, SEPA or NIEA — up to and including action against their permit or licence.
