Tracking the transport and disposal of high-risk or hazardous waste minimises potential harm to the environment and human health. Waste tracking helps stamp out illegal dumping, prevents waste going to the wrong facility and stops unfair competition.

Most users find online waste tracking easy. If you have just received your user account details, the following information will help you get started.

To save time and make it easier to create transport certificates (TCs) in the online waste tracking system (OWT), waste consignors and receiving facilities can create a list of regularly used transporters. Authorised agents can also create an agent’s premises list and producer premises list. All lists are created by using the ‘Tools’ option in OWT.

A discrepancy occurs if the information on a transport certificate (TC) does not accurately reflect the transport of the waste from the consignor to the receiving facility. Some types of discrepancy can be manually recorded and others are automatically generated in the OWT.

Occasionally the online waste tracking system (OWT) may be offline or there may be no access to the internet when the transport of waste needs to be recorded.
