DEFRA Digital Waste Tracking

Report waste loads to DEFRA directly from your receipts

Defra Waste Management Header

From October 2026, permitted and licensed waste sites in England and Wales have to report each load received to DEFRA within two working days. The Re-flow connector takes care of the submission to DEFRA, including DEFRA's digital ID on the receipt.

Load reporting

Automate reporting to DEFRA

When an operative submits the DEFRA Waste Receipt, Re-flow automatically sends the load to DEFRA, so your team avoid manually uploading data to DEFRA’s spreadsheet.

Two-day deadline

Meet DEFRA’s two-working-day deadline

A receipt waiting on a supervisor’s approval can sit past the deadline if that supervisor is off. Re-flow can add a second automation that sends the receipt within the deadline, so you stay compliant.

Send status

Check a receipt before it goes

Approve first, then set the receipt to send when you’re happy everything you’re submitting is correct.

Ready-made receipt

Start with every required field in place

Re-flow delivers your receipts in DEFRA’s required format with the fields already mapped and ready.

Test environment

Test your receipt before you go live

DEFRA rejects submissions when a field or code doesn’t match the required format. That’s why Re-flow submissions first go to a test environment. Submissions are checked automatically so you’re never caught out.
