Tracking waste tyres using the Integrated Waste Tracking Solution

Consignors, transporters and receivers of tyre waste transported inside NSW weighing 200 kilograms or more, or consisting of 20 or more tyres in one load must track and report this waste to the EPA using the Integrated Waste Tracking Solution (IWTS).

Waste tyre consignors and transporters must register on and use the IWTS to track the movement of asbestos. Heavy penalties may apply for not using IWTS or tracking movements in accordance with NSW requirements. You can find out more about tracking waste tyres below.

Australians generate over 50 million waste tyres a year. Mosquito borne diseases and toxic fires can be an issue if waste tyres aren’t managed correctly. As a result, the EPA requires the tracking of waste tyres and monitors the movement of waste tyres to help to prevent harm to the environment and human health.

The IWTS can be accessed from desktop and laptop computers, and internet-connected tablets or smartphones running the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari browsers. For best results, ensure you are using the latest version of your browser.

Prior to using the IWTS you will need to register for the IWTS by following the instructions from the IWTS Help Center on how to register for the IWTS.

To find more information about using the IWTS visit the IWTS Help Center.

For waste tracking purposes, the transport of waste tyres is:

  • where the tyres are transported from a waste facility, the occupier of the waste facility, or
  • otherwise the individual who undertakes the transport.

The consignor is responsible for ensuring the consignment for the waste tyre transport is created and providing information on the consignment to the transporter of the waste tyres before the transport commences.

To consign waste tyres, you must register on the IWTS before the transport of any waste tyres. Please note that your registration may take 24 – 48 hours to verify.

For waste tracking purposes the transporter of waste tyres is:

  • where the transport is for business, the person who carries on the business, or
  • for non-business transport, the individual who undertakes the transport.

The transporter is responsible for moving the waste from pick up location to drop off location, tracking the consignment within the IWTS and providing information to the receiver of the waste to show the load of waste has been tracked.

To transport waste tyres, you must register on the IWTS before you transport waste tyres. Please note that your registration may take 24 – 48 hours to verify.

The receiver of waste tyres is the occupier of the premises to which a load of waste tyres is delivered.

The receiver is responsible for receiving the waste, confirming the transport of the waste tyres has been tracked, and reporting untracked waste movements to the EPA.

To verify waste tyre movements have been tracked, you must register on the IWTS. Please note that your registration may take 24 – 48 hours to verify.

To report any untracked movements of waste to the EPA, you must use one of the options provided in Guideline 4 of the Asbestos and Waste Tyre Guidelines.

Only retreaders recovering and reselling retreads are exempted from these requirements. See Notice of Exemption from Clause 76: Reporting on transportation of waste tyres solely within New South Wales (PDF 28KB).
