From the kerb to the weighbridge, nobody loses the paperwork.

WasteOne keeps one record for every load: the job, the signed transfer note, the weighbridge ticket and DEFRA's answer. Built for firms with a few lorries to a few dozen, including the ones whose drivers don't carry a phone.

The rules have changed

Digital waste tracking is now the law for receiving sites, and DEFRA plans to bring everyone else in. We date every statement about the law, because the dates have already moved once.

Checked against gov.uk and legislation.gov.uk, 23 September 2026

  1. 1 October 2026
    Permitted sites in England and Wales

    Every load received must be recorded with DEFRA's digital waste tracking service by the end of the second working day after it arrives.

  2. January 2027
    Scotland and Northern Ireland

    The same duty starts there.

  3. October 2027 DEFRA's plan
    Carriers, brokers, dealers and exempt sites

    A stated plan, not yet law. The date can still move.

Only DEFRA can say it's done

Plenty of software marks a load as submitted the moment it has tried. WasteOne shows one of three states, and only DEFRA's own answer can turn a load green. If we can't check, we say so.

DEFRA accepted the load and gave it a tracking ID.

No answer yet. Treat it as not done. We keep trying and warn you before the deadline.

Needs fixing

DEFRA refused it. We tell you what to change, in plain English.

Built for how a yard really works

Our first pilot will be with a wood and pallet recycler that collects in its own lorries, weighs on its own weighbridge and treats on its own site. That's who we're building for.

Office first
No phone in the cab? The driver keeps the paper and the office keys it in, dated when the work was done.
Collect and receive, one record
Your lorry into your yard is one load, not two records to match up afterwards.
Signed means signed
Once a note is signed it's frozen. Editing a template later never rewrites what somebody agreed to.
Everyone gets a login
The whole office and every driver, each with their own. The draft prices have no per-user charges.
Your records leave with you
Before anyone pays, you'll be able to export everything, any time, in a format you can open without us.
Your data is yours alone
Each business sees only its own records. Nothing is quietly overwritten or thrown away, and every change is kept.

Questions people ask

Can WasteOne send my receipts to DEFRA today?
Not yet. Software has to pass DEFRA's production approval tests before it can send live records, and that's planned for 2027. We'll say so here the day it happens.
Do my drivers need a phone?
No. Drivers can keep using paper and the office keys it in. An Android app, now in final testing, is there for the teams that want it, and it works without signal.
What happens to my records if I leave?
Before anyone pays for WasteOne, you'll be able to export all of your records, at any time, in a format you can open without us. What happens to your access if you stop paying hasn't been decided yet, and we'll say so here when it is.
Can another business see my records?
No. Each business sees only its own records, and that's enforced twice: in the application and in the database itself.
When can I buy it?
Not yet. We're preparing our first pilot, and its places are few and arranged directly. To hear when WasteOne is ready, join the founding list.
