Contribute & data
Why does WasteSpot show a source and verification date?
Waste rules, opening hours, deposit systems and collection programmes change. Showing the source and verification date helps users judge how current an entry is.
Complete answer
The answer
A source link also lets users verify the context themselves, especially before travelling to a facility or relying on a local sorting rule. WasteSpot can combine public open data, official operator information and reviewed community submissions, so provenance matters.
A verification date does not mean the information can never have changed afterward; it records the last confirmed check.
What to do
- Prefer source-linked entries.
- Check recent changes before a long trip or unusual disposal.
- Submit corrections when a source has changed.
