How it works
One platform. Both sides of the gate.
Pick who you are, watch it done in the real product, then walk the workflow step by step.
This is what receiving waste looks like in LoadSnap.
Filmed in the product, not drawn in a slide deck. A real load through a real gate.
1:33, narrated and captioned.
The phone app and every chapter on the tour pageThe workflow, step by step
The lorry arrives
Three ways to start: key it in, scan the driver's LoadSnap code, or enter a DEFRA tracking ID
Who brought it
Carrier, vehicle and driver from your own library, with the carrier's registration checked against the Environment Agency register as you pick them
What is on it
Photograph the load and the code comes back; sealed loads are keyed in from the consignment note
Weigh it
Gross and tare at the bridge and LoadSnap nets it, with the container type and how many
The office checks it
The operative sends it up and the office confirms the codes, the disposal or recovery code and the compliance fields
File it with DEFRA
One button. A waste tracking ID comes back and sits on the record
This is live today. DEFRA takes waste tracking submissions from receiving sites, mandatory from 1 October 2026 in England and Wales and from January 2027 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Filing is on every plan including the free one.
Broker or dealer too? That is a second registration you hold, not a second account: tick it in your settings and the broker details appear on your records. What DEFRA asks of a broker. Producing the waste rather than moving it? Your carrier gives you a free producer dashboard.
AI classification
AI that knows UK waste regulations.
We trained on 1.2 million UK waste movements. The model returns an EWC code, hazardous flag, and consignee-return-ready description - with sources.
Detects document type
Photo of waste, weighbridge ticket, or paper WTN
Flags hazardous waste
Routes HWCN automatically; surfaces SDS where required
850+ EWC codes built in
Including 19-series industrial and 17-series construction

Built for the mandate
The clock is already running.
Since 1 October 2026, waste receivers in England and Wales must record every movement digitally, with Scotland and Northern Ireland following in January 2027 and carriers planned for October 2027. LoadSnap took part in the DEFRA Digital Waste Tracking (DWT) Beta and was live on day one.
Apr 2026
DEFRA Digital Waste Tracking beta opened
LoadSnap has been filing movements on your behalf since the beta opened.
1 Oct 2026
Mandatory for receivers
Every transfer station, MRF, and treatment site in England and Wales now has to use the digital waste tracking service. Scotland and Northern Ireland follow in January 2027.

Only on LoadSnap
Two things you only get with LoadSnap.
One joins your loads to the next firm in the chain. The other takes the weight straight off your weighbridge.
One code follows the load from the producer to the tip.
DEFRA's service does not let one firm look up another firm's records yet, and the part that will is not here. So every record in LoadSnap gets its own code. When the next firm in the chain uses LoadSnap too, they put in the code and the load arrives filled in: who carried it, the waste codes, the weights. It does what DEFRA plans to do, open to anyone in the chain, today.
One load, one code
Weights straight off the bridge you already have.
A small program on the weighbridge computer reads the display through the lead already plugged into it. Any make, nothing to buy, and it only ever reads, so it can never change what the approved display shows. Weigh in and out and LoadSnap does the rest, ticket included.

Why LoadSnap
Built with waste operators, for the 2026 mandate - so now digital tracking is law, you're already running on it.
We're building LoadSnap alongside the carriers and receivers who'll live with the mandate - filing live to DEFRA Digital Waste Tracking (DWT), shipping every week, and keeping every movement audit-ready from the first collection.
