DWTS registration and cost

How registration for the Digital Waste Tracking Service works, and what it costs, in plain English.

Before you can log waste movements in DWTS you have to register, and organisations that create or edit records pay a small annual charge. Here’s what to expect.

Who needs to register

Any organisation that creates or edits waste-tracking records — producers, carriers, and receiving sites — needs access to DWTS as the mandate phases in from 2026.

What it costs

Organisations that create or edit records pay a small annual charge (around £26) for rolling access from the mandatory phase. It’s a modest fee for a legal requirement — the real cost is the admin, which the right software removes.

Registering without the pain

The charge is unavoidable; the effort doesn’t have to be. With DWTS-ready software, the movement records are generated from your operations, so registration is the only manual step.

WipeTrail produces DWTS-ready records, WEEE evidence and data-destruction certificates in one system. Book a demo.
