Practical setup support for smaller permitted waste receiving sites preparing to report every relevant load through the new government service.
The practical decision
The new service supports two routes. The right choice depends on the number and type of movements you handle, your existing records and how your staff currently work.
You do not automatically need to buy new software. Our role is to help you choose and set up a proportionate process.
Complete the required fields using the official template, then upload the file to the Report receipt of waste service.
Use waste-specific software that has passed the required testing and connects to the government service through its API.
Setup support
Understand your sites, current paperwork, movement volumes and the people who will operate the process.
Assess whether the official spreadsheet is workable or compatible software should be considered.
Map the information you already capture against the fields needed for the chosen reporting route.
Define who records, checks and submits information, including a simple routine for errors and absences.
Provide a practical walkthrough so the people using the process know what to do and when.
Who it is for
