How TyresGone works with the public register

What TyresGone is

TyresGone is a record-keeping and register-checking service for garages and other waste producers in England. It helps them meet their duty of care under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and keep evidence of the checks they make.

TyresGone is the trading name of TyresGone Ltd, registered in England and Wales. Company No. 17458749. Registered office: 1 Coldharbour Court, Micheldever Road, Andover, Hampshire, SP10 2BL. ICO registration No. ZC261102.

Why it matters

The duty of care stays with the business that produces the waste. Checking a carrier’s registration before handing over waste is part of that duty.

What we never do

TyresGone does not approve, endorse, accredit or recommend any carrier. It does not arrange, book or route collections, and takes no fee on any collection. It does not change the register’s data. It does not say a business is off the register unless a later copy of the register has confirmed it.

How we handle personal data on the register

Many registrations belong to sole traders.

• For a registration with no Companies House number, we show the town and postcode district only, never a street address.
• Web addresses for those registrations use the registration number, not a person’s name.
• Anyone can object. An entry is hidden within one working day where there is a safety concern.
• Searches are rate-limited and there is no bulk export.

Our lawful basis and the full notice are in the privacy notice for register entries.

Where the data comes from

We use the Environment Agency public register of waste carriers, brokers and dealers for England. Contains Environment Agency information © Environment Agency and/or database right.

We are in contact with the Environment Agency about the terms on which its register data may be reused, and we will follow its written answer.

The register does not record what waste a carrier collects. Our waste-stream categories are inferences, not statements by the carrier or the Agency. Where this data comes from.

We also match carriers by business name and postcode to four other Environment Agency registers: scrap metal dealer site licences, end-of-life vehicle authorised treatment facilities, waste exemptions T8 and T9 (not at farms) and waste operations permits. Each: Contains Environment Agency information © Environment Agency and/or database right. Only the fact of a match is shown on a carrier’s page; no holder name, address or postcode from those registers is stored or shown.

Digital waste tracking and the permitting reform

Since 1 October 2026, permitted and licensed receiving sites must record waste they receive on the national digital waste tracking service. That is law.

Defra's published timeline plans to make digital waste tracking mandatory for waste carriers from October 2027. This is a plan, not yet law.

Separately, the Environmental Permitting (Waste Controlling or Transporting) and Relevant Functions of Primary Authorities (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2026 (SI 2026/873) were made on 22 July 2026. Their main provisions come into force on 22 July 2027, and existing upper-tier registrants move to permits as their registrations come up for renewal.
