About WasteLocate

Our Mission

WasteLocate was founded with a clear mission: to simplify and streamline waste management processes across the United Kingdom. We believe that finding the right waste disposal facility shouldn't be complicated, time-consuming, or frustrating.

By connecting waste producers, hauliers, and disposal facilities through our innovative platform, we're making environmental compliance easier and more accessible for everyone in the waste management industry.

The Problem We're Solving

For years, waste producers have struggled with finding suitable disposal facilities. The process typically involves:

• Hours of phone calls to multiple facilities
• Manual searching through fragmented online directories
• Uncertainty about facility permits and waste acceptance
• No transparent pricing information
• Difficulty finding facilities by location
• Complex EWC code classification without guidance

This inefficiency costs businesses time and money, while potentially leading to non-compliance with UK environmental regulations.

Our Solution

WasteLocate brings everything together in one easy-to-use platform:

🔍 Comprehensive EWC Database

Our intuitive three-tier search system guides users through the European Waste Catalogue, making waste classification straightforward even for those new to waste management.

🏭 Verified Facility Directory

We maintain an up-to-date database of permitted waste facilities across the UK, including detailed information on permits, capacities, accepted waste codes, and pricing.

📍 Location-Based Matching

Our postcode-based distance calculation helps users find the nearest suitable facilities, reducing transport costs and environmental impact.

💰 Transparent Information

We display upfront pricing, capacity limits, and contact details, empowering users to make informed decisions without the traditional back-and-forth.

Who We Serve

Waste Producers

From small businesses to large industrial operations, we help waste producers find compliant disposal routes quickly and efficiently. Whether you're dealing with construction waste, chemical by-products, or general commercial waste, WasteLocate connects you with the right facilities.

Waste Hauliers & Transport Companies

For hauliers, time is money. Our platform helps you locate facilities near collection points, optimize routes, and find alternative disposal sites when needed. Reduce empty running and fuel costs while ensuring compliance.

Waste Disposal Facilities

If you operate a permitted waste facility, WasteLocate provides a powerful marketing channel to reach new customers. Showcase your capabilities, display your pricing, and connect with waste producers actively searching for your services.

Our Commitment to You

Important: While we provide comprehensive information and connections, WasteLocate is an information service only. We do not provide waste classification services or legal advice. Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations and verifying facility capabilities independently.

Regulatory Compliance

WasteLocate operates in accordance with UK environmental legislation. We encourage all users to:

• Consult the official WM3: Waste Classification Technical Guidance
• Follow the Duty of Care Code of Practice
• Comply with The Waste Regulations 2011
• Verify facility permits with the Environment Agency
