Quarterly National Operators Waste Returns Report Guide

  • Updated

This report is intended to meet the legal requirements for non-hazardous waste disposal sites by documenting all waste streams received, as mandated by the Environment Agency. This allows you to extract waste data from jobs over a 92 day period which can then be quickly copy and pasted for submission to the Enviornmental Agency. 

The report's value lies in simplifying the process of quarterly waste returns, which would otherwise involve the cumbersome and tedious task of gathering individual job data for the quarter.


This report can be generated for a date range of up to 92 days and includes only non hazardous waste data from jobs. For hazardous waste returns, please refer to the article on Hazardous Waste Consignee Returns Report.

  • The National Operators Waste Returns Report is a crucial tool for monitoring compliance with environmental permit conditions and collecting national waste statistics.
  • This report is accessible via the Analytics & Reporting section in the top menu of BigChange.
  • Navigate to Miscellaneous Reports to locate the National Operators Waste Returns Report.
