The Digital Waste Tracking (England) Regulations 2026

SI 2026/729 · made 24 June 2026

What it requires

Who: sites in England holding an environmental permit to receive waste.
What: every load they receive is recorded on the government's digital waste tracking service.
Includes: who carried the load and their waste carrier registration number, the vehicle registration, waste codes, weights, and the recovery or disposal operation.
When: by the end of the second working day after the day the load arrives.
Cost to those sites: £26 a year per organisation.

What it does not change

Garages and other waste producers have no new duty. The duty of care is unchanged.
Waste transfer notes continue as before.
Sites operating under a registered exemption, such as T8, are not covered. Exemptions are lawful.

If you deliver to a permitted site, your waste carrier registration number is now recorded with every load you bring.

Registered carriers, county by county

Shading shows how many registered waste carriers with tyre-related business names are listed in each county. The register does not record what waste they collect. Pick one to see the registrations in it.

Checking the register is part of your duty of care.

Under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, a business that produces waste must take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled properly. Check a carrier's registration before handing over waste and keep evidence of that check.

Registration dates can change.

Upper tier registrations run for three years. Read the expiry date in our copy of the register and keep a record of your check. You can also ask us to email you before it expires.

This is a public register. We just made it searchable.

The data comes from the Environment Agency's own register. Contains Environment Agency information © Environment Agency and/or database right. We do not edit the register. What a collector adds to a claimed page is marked as theirs, and kept separate from the registered facts.

Tyres are not the only thing leaving the yard

The Environment Agency register covers every waste carrier, not only tyre carriers. Oil, batteries, scrap metal, the skip and the car nobody will repair go out of a workshop the same way, and the same duty of care follows them. Same register, same duty, same check.

These businesses are registered waste carriers with the Environment Agency. Some are listed here because their registered name suggests this waste; others because their name and postcode match a record on another public register, such as a scrap metal dealer licence or an authorised treatment facility permit. Neither is a statement by the carrier. A register records what a business is permitted to do, not what it does. Always confirm with the carrier before you hand over waste.
