Simplifying waste management across the UK

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.

"We're building the UK's most comprehensive and user-friendly waste facility directory, helping businesses meet their environmental obligations while reducing costs and improving efficiency."

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.
