Castle PointPermitted sites

The 23 permitted waste sites in Castle Point, and what digital waste tracking means for them

Q: Do permitted waste sites in Castle Point have to report the waste they receive?

Yes, if they receive waste. GOV.UK says anyone licensed or permitted to receive controlled waste must enter details of every load they receive, and sites in England must use Defra's service from 1 October 2026. Household waste that residents bring to an HWRC in England is left out.

Q: How long does a site have to report each load?

Within 2 working days, not counting weekends and bank holidays, starting on the day after the waste arrives. A load received on a Monday is due by the end of Wednesday.

Q: Can a site use its own spreadsheet?

No. GOV.UK gives two ways to report: software that uses Defra's API, or Defra's own spreadsheet template, uploaded to the service. You cannot use your own spreadsheet or change the format of Defra's.

Every site on this list holds an environmental permit for a waste operation. If it takes waste in, it is in Phase 1 of digital waste tracking, which started on 1 October 2026 in England and Wales. Household waste that local residents bring to a council tip is left out.

What it means for a site in Castle Point

Every load in has to be reported within two working days of the day after it arrives. A load tipped Monday morning is due by Wednesday night.
23 fields a load — the carrier and their registration, the vehicle, the waste code, the weight, how it arrived and what happens to it.
Two legal routes only: Defra's own spreadsheet template, or software listed on GOV.UK as a compatible provider. Your own spreadsheet is not one of them.
Paper does not stop. Transfer notes and consignment notes carry on alongside the digital service. There is no end date for them yet.
Not complying is an offence. GOV.UK lists a compliance notice, a £1,000 fixed monetary penalty, a variable monetary penalty, or prosecution and an unlimited fine (what the rules say).
The commonest here are 6 Household, Commercial and Industrial Waste Transfer Station, 5 End of Life Vehicles <2500 tonne per year, 4 Non-hazardous waste physical treatment facility and 4 Metal Recycling Site (vehicle dismantler).

Questions sites in Castle Point ask

Do permitted waste sites in Castle Point have to report the waste they receive?

Yes, if they receive waste. GOV.UK says anyone licensed or permitted to receive controlled waste must enter details of every load they receive, and sites in England must use Defra's service from 1 October 2026. Household waste that residents bring to an HWRC in England is left out. GOV.UK

How long does a site have to report each load?

Within 2 working days, not counting weekends and bank holidays, starting on the day after the waste arrives. A load received on a Monday is due by the end of Wednesday. GOV.UK

Can a site use its own spreadsheet?

No. GOV.UK gives two ways to report: software that uses Defra's API, or Defra's own spreadsheet template, uploaded to the service. You cannot use your own spreadsheet or change the format of Defra's. GOV.UK

What it costs to comply

DEFRA's spreadsheet is free and works — for a site taking a handful of loads a week it is a perfectly reasonable answer, and it is worth saying so. Software earns its money when the typing does not fit in the day, or when a bounced submission on day two would make the record late.

Byrne Waste Tracking is from £89 a month per site, all in: no VAT to add, every user and every load included. It is free to start, with no card. No setup fee, and you see your price before you pay anything. No contract and no minimum term. It checks each load against DEFRA's rules before it saves, so a wrong carrier registration is caught at the gate rather than on the deadline, and once your DEFRA account is linked it sends each load for you. There are other providers on DEFRA's list: compare them before you pay anybody anything, including me.
