Preparing for DWT Submissions
Create the relevant account(s) on the Government Gateway
You must have a DEFRA account and Government Gateway/GOV.UK One Login account to be able to use the DWT feature in Fred.
Waste receivers are now able to register online ahead of the changes and we'd encourage you to do this as soon as possible. You'll need your organisation's Government Gateway or GOV.UK One Login account details to do this. If your organisation doesn't have a Government Gateway or GOV.UK One Login account, you must create one. This is not something we can assist with or troubleshoot, and all queries relating to this must be directed to the government helpline on 03000 203 781.
The first time you use the service, you’ll be asked to create a DEFRA account if you don't already have one. The service will check this against your login, so you might see the messages below.
Once your DEFRA account has been created, you'll be redirected back to your Waste Receiving Account.
