Live now · filing to DEFRA’s API

The receipt you already record is the DEFRA filing.

Permitted sites that take waste in have to report every load to DEFRA’s digital waste tracking service. WTNcloud checks each receipt against DEFRA’s own code lists, files it the moment it’s complete, and explains in plain English if anything comes back.

Carriers, brokers and dealers join from October 2027. If you write your notes in WTNcloud, they’re digital already.

  • On every plan — free included
  • Every code checked before it's sent
  • DEFRA credentials encrypted

WTNcloud is on GOV.UK's list of software providers for reporting waste receipts. Independent software, not a government service.

The top 10

Everything a waste carrier actually needs. Nothing they don't.

The ten features carriers pick us for.

Browse all 160+ features

Offline

Works with zero signal

Create, photograph and sign a complete WTN with no bars at all. It saves to the device and uploads itself when signal returns — even while the app is closed.

How offline works

Audit trail

Evidence, not just paperwork

Every signature is stamped with GPS, device, IP and time — append-only. Photos carry a provenance trail, edits are logged, and each note has a downloadable audit PDF.

Security and audit trails

Signing

Signatures from anywhere

Sign on-glass at the kerbside, send a Secure Sign link by email or SMS, or flash a QR to hop the signature to a phone. A chase board tracks everything still owed.

Every way to sign

Hazardous waste

Hazardous waste done properly

Full consignment notes with three-party signing and statutory certificate wording verified against legislation.gov.uk — varied correctly by UK nation.

Consignment note features

Four nations

Right in all four UK nations

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each get the correct form, regulator, citations and retention rules — snapshotted onto every record.

Four-nation rules

AI

AI that knows waste

Describe the waste in plain English and the right EWC code is found from all 842. Ask AI answers questions about your own records and UK regulations.

The AI features

Fleet

Fleet compliance built in

DVSA walkaround checks with defect tracking, live MOT lookups with reminders, and EA/SEPA permit searches that re-verify your saved sites nightly.

Fleet and walkaround checks

Receiving sites

An inbox for receiving sites

Carriers fire loads at your site and they land in an inbox. OCR reads paper notes, a gate QR takes customer drop-offs, and mass-balance tracks your permit headroom.

The receiver inbox

Invoicing

Invoice before you leave the gate

Connect Xero or QuickBooks and raise the invoice straight off the completed note — from the office, or from the driver's phone on the success screen.

Invoicing features

Digital waste tracking

Filing to DEFRA today

Receiving sites file Digital Waste Tracking receipts to DEFRA's live API right now. Rejections come back as plain-English fix plans.

What it replaces

A day's paperwork, without the paper.

Same job, same duty of care. Here’s a day on the carbon pad, and the same day in WTNcloud.

At the kerb
On paper: A carbon pad on the tailgate, filled in wherever there's somewhere dry to write.
With WTNcloud: A complete note on the phone — waste, photos and both signatures — with no signal at all. It uploads itself when the phone finds some.
Which EWC code?
On paper: Guess from memory, or leave it blank for the office to sort out.
With WTNcloud: Describe the waste in plain English and AI suggests the code from all 842, with mirror entries handled rather than guessed.
Nobody's in to sign
On paper: Leave a copy through the letterbox, then chase the signature for a week.
With WTNcloud: Text or email a Secure Sign link in your branding. Reminders chase it for you, and one board shows every signature still owed.
Back at the yard
On paper: Type every ticket into the accounts, then box up the pad.
With WTNcloud: Raise the Xero or QuickBooks invoice straight off the finished note. Solo+
The regulator asks
On paper: Find one ticket from two years ago in a box of carbon copies.
With WTNcloud: Search by customer, EWC code or address, and download the note with its full audit trail.

FAQ

Common questions

Something else? Ask us.

Does it really work without internet?

Yes, in the WTNcloud app for iPhone and Android. It keeps your customers, vehicles, stations and the EWC catalogue on the phone, so you can open it, fill in every WTN field, capture signatures and photos, and complete the note with no signal at all. The note uploads by itself when the phone finds a connection, and the PDF and the customer's email go out then. The website needs a connection.

Is it legally compliant with EA regulations?

Yes. WTNcloud generates waste transfer notes that comply with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011. Every WTN includes the mandatory legal declaration, the EWC code, the transferor's and transferee's signatures and the waste hierarchy duty-of-care statement. Accounts in Scotland and Northern Ireland get their own nation's regulator, forms and citations.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your data is yours. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. After that, a Download ZIP Archive button on the Billing page gives you your WTN PDFs for 30 days, and the PDFs are deleted after 90. We never sell your data, and it's stored on EU-region servers under UK GDPR.

What is DEFRA's Digital Waste Tracking rollout and when does it affect carriers?

DEFRA's digital waste tracking service is being rolled out in phases under the Environment Act 2021. Permitted receiving sites go first: it is mandatory for them from 1 October 2026 in England and Wales, and from 1 January 2027 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Carriers, brokers and dealers follow from October 2027, with a voluntary public beta for them from spring 2027. Receiving sites can file their receipts to DEFRA from WTNcloud today, on every plan, and a carrier using WTNcloud is already writing every note digitally.

What changes, by role and nation

Can my drivers have their own logins?

Yes, from Solo+. Each driver gets their own login on the iPhone or Android app, with their own saved signature. Assign a job from the office and it arrives on their phone pre-filled, with a notification; they add the signatures and photos and finish it.

Can I import my existing customer list?

Yes. Every plan supports bulk customer import via CSV upload, including the free 20-note allowance. We provide a standard template that maps customer name — a company or an individual — address, postcode, and email. From Solo+ you can also pull your contacts straight in from Xero or QuickBooks.
