Digital Waste Tracking

Tell us what you need to do — we'll point you to the fastest way to do it.

Every WasteBolt route — from a one-off entry on your phone to a fully automated weighbridge feed — covers full DWT compliance. Find the situation that matches yours below, or mix and match methods across your team.

Logging loads one at a time

For drivers, gate staff, and small to mid-size operations — whatever you need for each individual load.

log a small number of loads a day, as fast as possible

Straight Submit

Type what you see, submit directly to Defra.

For one-off or occasional movements, skip the extra steps — enter the load details as you see them and submit straight to Defra's DWT service. WasteBolt builds the WTN for you automatically once it's submitted, so you still end up with a complete record without creating one step by step first.

Fastest route for one-off movements
Works on any device, no install
WTN generated automatically after submission

log the same repeat load over and over, in seconds

Gate Hot Picks

Tap a saved card, enter the weight, done.

For genuinely repeat loads — same customer, same waste stream — turn your saved WTN Templates into tap-to-log cards. Tap the card, enter today's weight, confirm the vehicle reg, and a complete WTN is created instantly.

Feeding data in from an existing system

For transfer stations, composting sites, AD plants, and anyone already running a weighbridge or management system — stop entering data twice.

CSV Upload — WasteBolt Sync

Bulk import straight from your existing weighbridge or management software.

For sites accepting large numbers of loads, re-keying data into a separate DWT system creates unnecessary admin and errors. WasteBolt Sync bulk-imports a CSV export from almost any weighbridge or management system — records are matched against your EWC and carrier templates and staged automatically, ready for DWT submission.

Works with any weighbridge export
Volume & EWC reporting across all loads
DWT receiver return — no manual prep
For Custom Setups

run my own weighbridge system and need something built around how the site actually works

WasteBolt Gatehouse

Free desktop software with direct SQL sync, job planning, and local WTN generation.

For transfer stations, composting sites, and AD plants running their own weighbridge system, WasteBolt Gatehouse is a free Windows desktop app that connects directly to it: watch a CSV export folder, sync straight from SQL Server, or log loads manually at the gate. Records stage automatically in WasteBolt, ready for template matching and DWT submission — best suited to more customised setups.

Direct SQL Server sync
Manual log entry without a weighbridge

Pro Plan & Above

Custom Solutions

Your operation doesn't fit the mould — we can work with that.

For waste receivers with more complex workflows, non-standard data sources, or specific reporting requirements, WasteBolt Pro and above includes access to light customisation and bespoke integrations — including custom domains for full CRM systems. Whether it's connecting to a proprietary system, adapting column mappings, or building a tailored intake process, we can scope a solution that works for your site without asking you to change how you operate.

Digital Waste Tracking — October 2026

DWT is mandatory for waste receivers. WasteBolt handles the submission.
