Annual Return Report

Pre-formatted summary of completed notes for EA submission and compliance audits.

What is the Annual Return?

The Annual Return report produces a structured summary of all completed waste transfer notes over a chosen period — typically 12 months. It is designed to support your annual duty-of-care reporting obligations to the Environment Agency. The report breaks down data by EWC code, by client, and by site.

Date range

The report defaults to a rolling 12-month window ending today. You can adjust the From and To dates to match your financial year or any reporting period. Click Refresh after changing dates.

Summary statistics

Four stat boxes appear at the top of the results: Total Notes, Total Quantity (all waste weights combined), EWC Codes (distinct codes in the period), and Sites (distinct sites used). These give an at-a-glance picture before drilling into the tables below.

By EWC Code table

Lists every EWC code that appeared on a completed note in the period. Columns: EWC Code, Notes (count), Quantity (total weight). Use this to fill in the waste stream breakdown section of your EA annual return.

By Client table

Lists every client associated with completed notes. Columns: Client, Notes (count). Useful for identifying your highest-volume customers.

By Site table

Lists every site (collection or transfer address) used in the period. Columns: Site, Notes (count).

Exporting

Download CSV exports all three tables into a single CSV file named annual-return-{from}-to-{to}.csv. Download PDF produces a formatted document suitable for printing or digital submission. Both buttons are disabled until data has loaded.

Match your dates to the EA reporting period
EA duty-of-care records must be kept for a minimum of 2 years. Set your date range to a full calendar or financial year before downloading to ensure the export covers the correct period.
Run the report before year-end
Generate and save your Annual Return PDF before you archive or close your reporting period. This gives you a snapshot you can produce quickly during an audit without needing to re-run the query.
