What you must record under Digital Waste Tracking

The full Digital Waste Tracking record set: what the waste is, what happened before, where it is now, plus the two digital only fields. And how LoadSnap fills most of it from one photo.

Receiving sites record data across three areas for every load. Capture the right fields first time at the weighbridge and the rest takes care of itself. This is the full record set.

1. What the waste is

  • EWC or List of Waste code

  • Plain description

  • Physical form

  • Container type

  • Weight and unit

  • Whether it is hazardous

  • Whether it contains POPs, and if so which and at what concentration

2. What happened before this point

  • The activity that produced it

  • The origin of the waste

  • The carriers involved

  • Any brokers or dealers, with authorisation number

  • Producer SIC code

  • Consignment note code, if hazardous

  • Transport mode or modes

3. Where it is now, and what is next

  • Receiving site and permit number

  • Date and time received

  • Waste hierarchy option

  • Intended management method (R or D code)

Plus two new digital only fields

Every record also carries the unique Digital Waste Tracking ID (DWT-ID) and the API code that identifies the receiving organisation. You do not type these in by hand: they come from the system.

How LoadSnap captures all of this

Most of area 1 is filled by the AI from a single photo: the waste type, EWC codes, container and hazardous flag are suggested for you to check. Areas 2 and 3 are drawn from the carrier QR code and your site details, which are already on screen at the weighbridge. The DWT-ID and API code are added automatically when the movement is filed. Your job is to glance, confirm and submit.
