Permitted waste sites, town by town

8,168 sites hold a permit for a waste operation. Since 1 October 2026 the ones that take waste in have to report each load digitally, within two working days. Pick a town to see the sites on the register there.

Since 1 October 2026: what GOV.UK says

Sites that receive waste in England or Wales must use Defra's service from 1 October 2026. That means anyone licensed or permitted to receive controlled waste.
Every load gets a record, sent within 2 working days (not counting weekends and bank holidays), starting the day after the waste arrives.
Two ways to report: software that uses Defra's API, or Defra's own spreadsheet template. You cannot use your own spreadsheet.
Defra's service charge is £26 a year for each organisation on your account.
Household waste that residents bring to an HWRC in England is left out. Scotland and Northern Ireland start in January 2027.
