Digital waste tracking
Permitted receiving sites in England and Wales report each inbound load to the Digital Waste Tracking Service, and the EWC code is part of that record. WEEE Manager is listed on GOV.UK and sends the code with the rest of the receipt through the API.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Confirm the code in WM3 and on legislation.gov.uk before you report it.
