Carrier Licence Checker
Type a waste carrier registration number and we'll check it live against the Environment Agency register. Using an unregistered carrier can result in a fine of up to £5,000 for the waste producer.
Upper-tier registrations start with CBDU — checked live against the EA register as you type.
What to check before a carrier collects
Active registration on the EA register
Confirmed above using the live EA register.
Upper-tier (CBDU...) not lower-tier
Lower-tier (CBD... without U) only covers businesses carrying their own waste.
Business name matches the driver
The vehicle should match the registered business name.
No registration at all
Fine of up to £5,000 — on the waste producer, not the carrier.
Expired registration
An expired licence is the same as no licence for duty of care purposes.
Verify every carrier automatically on every movement
WasteMapper checks the EA register on every log — flags expired licences instantly, records the result on your Waste Transfer Note, and alerts you before a non-compliant carrier collects.
