EN for waste removal and containers
A waste removal system that knows where every container stands and since when
A container firm has its assets scattered across the whole district. Every day a container sits somewhere without being billed is a direct loss, and nobody sees it.
A custom system for a waste removal firm starts at 1 400 € and the first version is usually ready within a week. It tracks where each container stands and since when, counts the rental by the day plus the per-tonne fee from the weighbridge slip, and splits orders into routes so nobody drives back and forth across the district.
Where a firm like this loses money
You do not know where your containers are
Some of them sit on building sites you only roughly remember. A few stand for months without ever being billed.
The weighbridge slip rides in the cab
Billing happens when the driver brings it in, and that tends to be two weeks later. Sometimes it never arrives at all.
Routes get planned by phone each morning
The driver learns the job while driving and nobody counts the empty kilometres.
The waste type shows up only at the landfill
A rubble container also holds plastic, and suddenly the fee is different from what the customer was told.
What such a system includes
A record of every container, one by one, with where it stands, since when and for whom. This is the base of everything else and usually the point where the system pays for itself in the first month, because you find units that were standing for free.
An order with the address, waste type and agreed price, so nobody argues later about what was agreed. Writing the deal down during the call takes a minute.
Rental by days on site plus a per-tonne fee from the slip the driver photographs at weighing. The invoice can then go out on the day of pickup instead of two weeks later.
Splitting orders into routes by town and by day. With containers most of the cost is in the driving, so a well-built route is margin straight away.
An overview of container usage, meaning how many days a year each unit was rented out. You buy more based on that, not on a feeling that you are short.
- Order Address, waste type, container size and agreed price.
- Drop-off The unit standing there is logged with a date. The rental starts from then.
- Pickup and weighing The driver photographs the weighbridge slip right on the spot.
- Invoice Days on site plus tonnes, issued on the day of pickup.
What stands behind it
I have not built for a waste removal firm yet. The closest is scaffolding rental, where the record of what is out and since when fits, along with pricing by period and transport. What is not there is route planning and a link to weighbridge slips, and that would be the largest part of the work.
The closest finished system is the one for scaffolding rental. There too you track what is out, with whom and since when, there too you count weight and trips, and there too the rental depends on the duration.
While building it we first pulled apart the client Excel and found 10 errors that had shaped his quotes for years. That is exactly why this kind of work starts with questions, not with code.
Common questions
We have fifty containers. Can we track each one separately?
Yes, and that is exactly what pays off. When you only record by type, there are always a few units standing longer than they should while nobody knows about them.
Drivers do not want to fill anything in.
That is why the only thing they do is photograph the weighbridge slip and tap dropped off or picked up. Anything more complex is kept out of the cab.
We bill sometimes by days, sometimes by the tonne, sometimes a flat rate.
That is common and the system expects it. The pricing method is a property of the order, so it can even be mixed for the same customer.
How much does it cost?
From 1 400 €, with no per-user fee. The first working version is usually ready within a week.
How many of your containers are standing for free right now?
Tell me how many units you have and how you track where they are today. A map then shows every container and how many days it has stood, and it bills itself from that. The first call is free.
