Hiring someone to take waste away makes you responsible for where it ends up.
Waste Carrier Check lets you confirm a carrier is registered before anything changes hands - in the time it takes to read the side of their van.
Search any UK carrier
Type a name, postcode or registration number. One search covers all four UK public registers: the Environment Agency (England), SEPA (Scotland), Natural Resources Wales and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency.
See the whole picture
Every result is summarised as plain signals:
Registration - current, expiring or lapsed, with the expiry date
Tier - upper tier can carry other people’s waste; lower tier is for a business’s own
Activity - carrier, broker or dealer, so you know what they’re actually registered to do
Enforcement - court cases and notices on the Environment Agency’s enforcement register, with offence, legislation and fines
Company - the business behind the registration, from Companies House: active, dissolved, in liquidation, overdue filings, proposal to strike off
Keep records
Export a dated PDF of any check for your waste transfer file. It shows what the registers said and when, so your duty of care is documented.
Stay on the right side of it
Save the carriers you work with. Pro re-checks them in the background and tells you before a registration expires, if a company is dissolved, or when a new enforcement action appears.
Discover
Live register stats across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: what registered and lapsed today, 30-day trends, upcoming renewals, a nation-by-nation breakdown and the latest enforcement actions.
Built for skip hire firms, builders, facilities managers, waste brokers and anyone who signs a transfer note.
Searching is free. Waste Carrier Check Pro unlocks alerts, unlimited saved carriers, PDF records, background re-checks and Discover - monthly, yearly or a one-off lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your App Store account settings.
Data from the Environment Agency, SEPA, Natural Resources Wales and Northern Ireland Environment Agency (DAERA) public registers and Companies House. Welsh and Northern Irish registers are published as periodic files and may lag the official site by a few days. Enforcement data is published by the Environment Agency only. This app is independent and not affiliated with any of them.
Results are indicators, not a verdict - always ask to see the carrier’s certificate.
