Wastrio makes EA2021 digital waste tracking simple for transfer stations, skip companies and waste carriers. Log waste at the gate, generate legal transfer notes, stay compliant — in seconds.
Mandatory for receiving sites from October 2026
From October 2026, DEFRA will see your receipt data and the carrier's collection data side by side. If they don't match, you'll know about it. Here's what most sites haven't thought about yet.
The EA turns up and asks for records on a specific load from three months ago. You're looking through a folder. The carbon copy is barely legible. That anxiety doesn't go away just because nothing happened last time.
You logged one weight. The carrier logged another. Right now nobody cross-references. From October 2026, DEFRA sees both datasets. A mismatch on the same Waste Tracking ID will be visible.
Carrier arrives. You need their licence number, vehicle reg, EWC code, and weight. Half of it you have to chase. Then you type it into three different places. Five minutes per load. Every load. Every day.
Six months away. API integration, system setup, and staff training all take time. Sites that start now will be ready. Sites that wait until summer will be scrambling.
Create your account, add your permitted site, waste streams, and team members. You're ready to start logging in under an hour.
Carrier pulls up, you log the details. EWC code, weight, carrier registration, vehicle reg. Takes under a minute per load.
Digital WTN generated. E-signatures captured. Data formatted for DEFRA submission. EA quarterly returns built automatically from your records.
From October 2026, you submit your receipt data to DEFRA when waste arrives at your site. From October 2027, waste carriers submit their collection data separately. Both datasets reference the same Waste Tracking ID. DEFRA designed it that way deliberately.
If your records and the carrier's records don't match, DEFRA will see the gap. That's not a risk you carry with paper today. It will be from October.
When waste arrives at a Wastrio site, you capture the carrier's details once at the gate. Wastrio generates the Waste Tracking ID and handles both submissions from the same record. Nothing to reconcile afterwards.
Carriers who deliver to Wastrio sites regularly can create a free account to pre-fill their details before arrival. Less typing at the gate for your team. A head start on their own October 2027 deadline for them.
