Consignee returns spreadsheet issue

You cannot currently submit your consignee returns using the spreadsheet. This is because an update to Microsoft’s security settings has interfered with the essential components of the spreadsheet.

You must keep your records whilst we find a solution.

A new version of the spreadsheet should be published on this page in the week beginning 16 February 2026. 

Once the new version is published, you’ll be asked to submit your returns for 2025 Q4 within 2 weeks of publication. You’ll then need to submit your returns for 2025 Q2 and Q3 within a further 2 weeks.

You will not need to resubmit your data if you have already successfully submitted your Q2, Q3 or Q4 returns during this period.

If you have any questions, please contact our National Customer Contact Centre. If emailing, please put ‘Consignee returns 2025’ in the subject. We apologise for any inconvenience.

A consignee return reports what hazardous waste has been received, or disposed of at your premises or place where it is produced, every quarter.

Find out how to use the spreadsheet to send your consignee return.
