Step one: Log in
Log in to the EPA portal.
Step two: Open the Manage waste menu
In the 'manage waste' menu, choose the 'waste receiver dashboard'.
Step three: Waste receiver dashboard
In the 'waste receiver dashboard', you’ll see a list of your waste records if you are a receiver administrator.
Receiver administrators also have access to dashboard filters. How to filter waste records on the waste receiver dashboard explains how to use these filters.
Step four: Find waste record
Enter the waste record number in the search bar and click the magnifying glass, choose the record from the dashboard or use the filters to find the waste record.
Step five: Receive waste
When you find the right record ID, click the arrow next to the record and select 'receive waste'.
Step six: Administrator and permission site
In the waste record, scroll down to the question - Are you an administrator at the receiving site?
Click Yes if you’re the administrator at the receiving site.
Click No if you’re a site receiver at the weighbridge.
Next, click on the magnifying glass in the Permission site box and choose the relevant site. You can also search for the site by permission ID or name by using the search bar.
Tip: You can use asterisk to search for a partial name or phrase. For example, *OL0003 will search for all operating licences that begin with ’OL0003’.
Click 'Select'.
Step seven: Package type
If the waste is in packages, select yes and enter the number of packages when prompted.
Enter the amount of waste and units of waste.
Step eight: Add treatment code
Click 'add treatment code'.
Find the treatment code in the list or by entering the name in the search bar.
Click 'add'.
Tip: You can use asterisk to search for a partial name or phrase. For example, *inc will search for 'incineration on land' and 'incineration at sea'.
Step nine: Temporary confinement
Answer yes or no about 'temporary confinement'. Temporary confinement means you notify EPA when waste is received that your site may not be authorised to receive. Selecting 'yes' flags that the waste consignment has been placed in temporary isolation. Refer to permission condition PER_WM1 for more information.
Add any discrepancy information if applicable. Use the additional information field to include any other relevant information.
