Four steps:
1 when it came in, 2 which wagon brought it, 3 what was in it,
4 press Save for the spreadsheet.
Everything else is already set — the carrier, the registration number, your permit,
your site and the disposal code all fill themselves in.
How a ticket gets to Defra
- Record each load on the New tracking ticket tab and press Save for the spreadsheet. It lands in the list below.
- Build the spreadsheet (button below). Your browser downloads a filled in copy of Defra's own template.
- Upload it on gov.uk. Open Report receipt of waste, sign in with the Defra account, choose the file you just downloaded.
- Download the file Defra hand back once it has been processed. It is the same spreadsheet with a waste tracking ID in column B (and any problem in column A).
- Drop that file into step 2 below. The tracking IDs go against the right records and they leave the Outstanding list.
Each load must reach Defra within 2 working days of the day after it arrived, so build and upload at the end of every working day. Only loads that have never been on a spreadsheet are listed here — once built, they move down to Spreadsheets already built and stay there.
Spreadsheets already built
One row per build. Once a load is on a spreadsheet it lives here and is never built again, so nothing
can reach Defra twice. Lost the file? Download again gives you the very same spreadsheet.
Built one that was wrong? Discard puts its records back on the waiting list for the next
build, then delete the wrong file from your Downloads folder. Records Defra have already accepted
are never touched.
