Overview
What Waste Code is an admin-managed directory of Waste Sites and Waste Brokers in the UK.
Organisations submit their details once during onboarding. All listings are reviewed and approved before publication.
There are no user accounts or dashboards. All listing management is handled by our team.
The Listing Process
Getting your listing published involves four steps: submit your details, complete payment, pass our review, and your listing is published once approved.

Subscription Status & Visibility

Listings can be restored upon reactivation, subject to review.
You can cancel by contacting our team or via the Paddle Customer Portal.
Regulatory Information & EWC Codes
Waste Site regulatory information comes from the environmental permit or exemption. Waste Broker information uses the EA registration number.
For Waste Sites, we can extract EWC codes from permit documentation. For Waste Brokers, supply the EWC codes you want displayed to the admin team; these are manually assigned after review.
Admins review and manage the EWC codes shown publicly. Broker EWC codes describe listed services and do not indicate a permitted waste facility at the business address.
If you believe an EWC code is missing or incorrect:
- Contact our team with clarification.
- We may request supporting documentation.
Data & Compliance
What Waste Code stores organisation data securely within the UK and Europe.
We operate in accordance with UK data protection regulations.
If you wish to request deletion of your listing, remove your organisation from the directory, or have other data-related enquiries, please contact us via email. All associated data will be permanently removed.
