Everything in One Platform

More than just a WTN app.

WasteBolt covers every digital waste tracking obligation a UK waste business faces — from day-to-day WTNs to mandatory EA DWT submissions and ISO compliance.

Digital Waste Transfer Notes

Create, sign, and issue legally compliant digital WTNs in under 60 seconds. No paper, no reprinting, no lost dockets.

EA DWT Platform Submission

Submit waste movements to the Environment Agency's mandatory Digital Waste Tracking platform directly from WasteBolt — one click from your existing WTNs. Mandatory for waste receivers from October 2026.

WasteBolt Linked

Pass WTNs and dockets directly to connected businesses. Carriers and receivers stay in sync — no manual handoffs, no data re-entry.

Quarterly Waste Returns

Generate your Environment Agency quarterly waste return reports directly from your WasteBolt records. No spreadsheets, no manual aggregation.

Audit-Ready Records

Every WTN, season ticket, and DWT submission is timestamped and stored. Inspection-ready in seconds — nothing to reconstruct.

EA Submission

How DWT submission works.

Your existing WTNs go straight to the Environment Agency — no re-typing, no separate portal.

01

Your WTNs & dockets are already there

Every completed WTN and weighbridge docket you create in WasteBolt automatically appears in the DWT submission queue. Zero data re-entry, no CSV exports, no copy-pasting between systems.

02

Pre-submission readiness check

WasteBolt validates every record before you submit — required fields like carrier details, EWC codes, and weights are checked automatically, and anything missing is flagged as a blocking error or a warning you can resolve in seconds.

03

One-click submit to the EA

Hit Submit on any ready record. WasteBolt builds the correct DWT API payload — including EWC codes, HP codes, POPs data, container types, weights, and carrier details — and sends it directly to the Environment Agency.

04

Waste Movement ID returned

On success, the EA returns a unique Waste Movement ID. WasteBolt stores it against your record instantly — your submission is tracked, timestamped, and permanently archived, ready for inspection.

Every submission is traceable. Once accepted, the EA returns a unique Waste Movement ID that WasteBolt stores permanently against your record — a clean, auditable link between your internal reference and the EA's system.

Frequently asked questions.

Is WasteBolt a listed software provider for Digital Waste Tracking?

Yes. WasteBolt passed Defra's Production Approval Tests (PAT) on 11 June 2026 and is listed on GOV.UK's software provider list for the Report Receipt of Waste service. You can verify this at gov.uk/government/publications/report-receipt-of-waste-choose-a-software-provider.

What is digital waste tracking software?

Digital waste tracking software replaces paper Waste Transfer Notes and manual registers with a digital system. In the UK, it also refers to software that connects to the Environment Agency's mandatory Digital Waste Tracking (DWT) platform — mandatory for all waste receivers from October 2026.

Is Digital Waste Tracking mandatory in the UK?

Yes. The Environment Agency's Digital Waste Tracking platform is mandatory for all waste receivers in England from October 2026. Waste producers and carriers are expected to follow. WasteBolt is already connected to the EA's DWT platform and can submit movements in one click from existing WTNs.

Do I need to do anything extra to my existing WTNs before submitting?

Mostly no. WasteBolt checks each record against the DWT requirements and flags exactly what's missing with a clear ready/warning/error status. Common gaps are a missing vehicle registration, receiver email, or permit number — fields you may not have needed for paper WTNs. Fix them once in your pick-list and future records will be complete automatically.

What is a Waste Movement ID?

After a successful DWT submission, the EA's platform returns a unique Waste Movement ID (also called a wasteTrackingId). WasteBolt stores this against your record so you have a permanent, auditable link between your internal reference and the EA's system.

Does WasteBolt support ISO 14001 compliance?

WasteBolt helps with several ISO 14001 documentation requirements: My Site AI tracks expiry dates on permits, insurance and certifications with automated alerts (clause 7.5 document control), and every WTN and DWT submission creates a timestamped, auditable record (clause 9.1 monitoring evidence).
