What Trackdéchets is
Trackdéchets is the public online service, operated for the French State, that dematerializes waste tracking slips (bordereaux de suivi de déchets, BSD). Producers, collectors, transporters, brokers, traders and treatment facilities sign each step in the platform, which then feeds their registries.
Who must use it
- Producers of hazardous waste, including industrial sites and data centers (batteries, oils, solvents, contaminated packaging, some electronics).
- Operators handling refrigerant fluids (equipment containing fluorinated gases).
- Sites producing asbestos waste during works.
- Collectors, transporters, brokers, traders and treatment facilities for these wastes.
- Operators subject to the national waste registry.
Which slip for which waste: BSDD, BSDA, BSFF, BSDASRI, BSVHU explained.
The national waste registry is now in Trackdéchets
The former national registry service (RNDTS) was merged into Trackdéchets in May 2025. Registry declarations follow the "tell us once" principle: electronic slips in Trackdéchets feed the registry automatically. Details: registry obligations and deadlines.
Best practices on site
- Create the company account for each SIRET and assign administrators.
- Set up delegations and verify your contractors' accounts and authorizations.
- Agree who drafts each slip (often the collector) and who signs as producer.
- Check each slip at pickup: waste code, quantity, packaging, destination.
- Monitor slips that are not closed by final treatment.
- Reconcile slips with contractor invoices monthly.

FAQ
Is Trackdéchets mandatory for non-hazardous waste?
Electronic slips are not mandatory for most non-hazardous waste, but registry obligations still apply to the operators concerned, and the platform can be used voluntarily.
Who signs the tracking slip?
Each actor signs at its step: producer (or holder), transporter, and destination facility, with the treatment confirmed at the end.
Is this website the official Trackdéchets service?
No. This is an independent guide by Wastetide. Official declarations are made on trackdechets.beta.gouv.fr.
