Digital Waste Tracking Checklist

What Information Do You Need for a DWT Submission?

Every Digital Waste Tracking submission needs data about four things: the producer, the carrier, the receiver, and the waste itself. Here's the full checklist, and where each field lives in WasteBolt.

The Four Parts of a Submission

Four parties, every submission

Producer
Who created the waste
Carrier
Who transported it
Receiver / Consignee
Who took delivery
Waste details
What it was, how much

Required Fields

These fields must be present for a record to submit successfully — miss one and it shows as an Error on the DWT page instead.

Producer name, address & postcode
Carrier name & waste carrier registration/licence number
Vehicle registration
Receiver (consignee) name, address, postcode & email
Receiver permit or exemption number
EWC (European Waste Catalogue) code
Waste description
Net weight
Date of transfer

Optional / Situational Fields

These aren't needed on every submission, but apply depending on your waste type or process:

  • Physical form of the waste (solid, liquid, sludge, gas)
  • Hazard codes / hazardous properties (hazardous waste only)
  • Container type and quantity
  • Your own reference or ticket number
  • Special handling requirements / instructions

Cut the Re-Typing With Pick Lists

Most of these fields — carrier licence numbers, receiver permits, EWC codes — don't change between WTNs for the same customer or waste stream. Set them up once in Pick Lists (or an Import Template if you're importing from a weighbridge) and WasteBolt fills them in automatically every time, so you're really only entering weight, vehicle, and date per load.
