Digital Waste Tracking - what it means for our customers
The way waste is recorded and tracked in England and Wales is changing. From 1st October 2026, new Digital Waste Tracking were introduced for permitted and licensed waste sites, like Mellor Metals, across England and Wales.
The new government system is designed to improve how waste is tracked, creating a clearer digital record of where waste comes from, who handles it and where it ultimately ends up.
For businesses and individuals using Mellor Metals, our service will continue as normal, but there will be some changes to the way information about the scrap metal we receive is recorded and reported.
