South HamsPermitted sites

The 36 permitted waste sites in South Hams, and what digital waste tracking means for them

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.

Area: SOUTH HAMS
Permitted sites: 36
Duty since: 1 OCT 2026
Per load: 2 WORKING DAYS

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.

What it means for a site in South Hams

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 Non-hazardous waste physical treatment facility, 6 Household, Commercial and Industrial Waste Transfer Station, 5 Composting Facility and 4 Metal Recycling Site (vehicle dismantler).

Questions sites in South Hams ask

Do permitted waste sites in South Hams 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.
