Digital waste tracking How to choose an EWC code

Digital waste tracking

Receiving sites must report this code to DWTS.

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.
