Recycling services package

A yard system built around the load ticket: book the collection, send the driver the round, weigh the load in, grade it with a photograph, update stock, build the month-end statement from the tickets and issue the certificate from the same records.

Who it is for

Built for

A good fit

Recycling yards, scrap metal merchants, cardboard and plastics recyclers, materials recovery sites and specialist recyclers from a single yard with one weighbridge and a lorry up to a site with several bridges, a fleet of lorries and skips and a hundred trade accounts. Daily users are the weighbridge operator who tickets every load, drivers who work round sheets and record container movements on their phones, the office who books collections, answers price enquiries and runs statements, the site manager who watches stock by grade and bay and plans baling and dispatch, the owner who wants margin by material and disputes by account, trade customers who check tickets and statements, and household customers who book a drop-off or a collection.

Not the right fit

It is not for waste carriers whose business is collection and disposal rather than material recovery, for a scrap yard that only sells used parts, or for an operator whose weighbridge software already does everything described here; and it does not calibrate weighbridges, lodge returns on official systems or set market prices.

The operational problem it solves

How it runs, step by step

Seven thirty.

The weighbridge operator opens the day: eleven collections on two rounds, four trade drop-offs booked and the household drop-off slots open from nine.
Driver one's round sheet on his phone lists six container exchanges in order with access notes and the container numbers he is delivering and collecting; at each stop he confirms the swap and the container record moves from the customer's site to the lorry.
At eight-fifteen a trade customer's lorry arrives; the operator picks the booking, the bridge reads the gross weight into the ticket, the load is tipped, the lorry weighs out, and the operator selects mixed copper, grades it, records a deduction for the attached brass fittings with a photograph and confirms the ticket.
The customer's driver gets a copy by text before leaving the yard.

At ten a householder arrives with lead flashing from a roof job; she is asked for identity and vehicle details as your policy requires, the ticket is raised against a cash account and payment goes by bank transfer with the ticket number as reference, so it matches itself later.

Through the day stock by grade and bay updates from each ticket and the site manager sees the cardboard bay is close to full and books a baling run.
At three a buyer collects two loads of baled cardboard; the dispatch tickets weigh out and the stock reduces.
At month end the office generates statements for forty trade accounts from their tickets, one customer disputes a grade, the office opens the ticket with its photograph and settles it with a recorded adjustment, and a corporate client's certificate of recycling is generated from its eighteen tickets for the quarter.
The owner sees tonnage and margin by material, the deductions applied, and the carrier registration due for renewal next month.

Features

What the package does

The package ships as modules that follow the load: materials, prices and bookings; rounds, containers and weighbridge tickets; and stock, trade accounts, statements and certificates. Each module below lists what it does; the comparison table shows which package variant includes it.

Content and editorial

Materials list with grades and conditionsPublish the streams and grades you accept, the acceptance conditions and the prices as you enter them, so customers know what to bring before they set off.

Bookings and diary

Collection and drop-off bookingTrade and household customers book a collection or a drop-off online, and each booking arrives with the details your yard needs.
Rounds with round sheets on the phoneAssign lorries and drivers to rounds, send drivers a round sheet on their phone and track containers as they move.

Documents and cases

Weighbridge tickets with photographsEach load gets a ticket recording weight, grade, deductions and a photograph, linked back to the booking and the customer account.
Certificates of recycling or destructionCertificates are generated from the tickets they cover, so what the customer receives matches what the yard recorded.

Stock and inventory

Stock by material, grade and bayStock is worked out from receipts and dispatches by material, grade and bay, giving the site manager a current picture without a manual count.
Buyer orders and dispatch ticketsRecord orders from buyers of processed material and issue dispatch tickets that take stock out of the right bays.

Accounts and permissions

Trade accounts with monthly statementsTrade customers have price schedules and credit terms, and month-end statements are built from their tickets.
Ticket disputes with recorded adjustmentsWhen a customer queries a ticket, the adjustment and the reason are recorded against it, so the statement and the history agree.
Cash customer identity and vehicle captureRecord who sold material and which vehicle brought it, with payment tied to a reference.

Integrations

Weighbridge interfaceRead weights from your weighbridge directly into the ticket instead of typing them.
Vehicle tracking link for round progressShow round progress from a connected vehicle tracking service next to the day's bookings.

Example screen

Concept demo

Concept demo of a recycling weighbridge ticket screen showing linked booking, weights, material grade, a deduction with photograph and a send-copy action.

The ticket as the weighbridge operator sees it: the trade customer's booking linked at the top, gross and tare weights read from the bridge with the net calculated, mixed copper selected with its grade, a deduction line with the photograph of the brass fittings, and the send-copy button that texts the ticket to the driver before he leaves.

Ownership, maintenance and pricing

After the build

Deployment and ownership

Runs on your own hosting or on hosting we manage; the choice is made in the proposal and can change later. You own the code and your data, including trade accounts, tickets with photographs, stock history, statements and certificates, which can be exported at any time in standard formats. Nothing in the package stops a move to another provider.

Maintenance

Maintenance is optional and scoped separately from the build. When taken, it covers security updates, monitoring of the weighbridge connection, ticket copies and statement runs, backups of tickets and photographs, and a monthly window for small changes such as a new grade, a changed deduction rule or a new container type. Larger changes are quoted as change requests.

Pricing model

Priced per proposal.

Sold as a one-off setup and customisation with optional monthly maintenance and hosting as separate recurring lines. The setup figure depends on the number of bridges, lorries and material streams, the add-ons selected, whether the weighbridge is connected, the payment provider, and how much account and ticket history is migrated. The proposal states each line separately so recurring costs are never hidden in the build.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does a trade customer dispute a ticket?

From their portal or by calling the office. The ticket shows the weights, grade, deduction and photographs as recorded at the bridge, the office records an adjustment or a rejection with a reason, and the statement shows the original and the adjustment as separate lines so nothing is silently rewritten.

Can we show different prices to trade and household customers?

Yes. The public materials page shows the prices or price-on-enquiry status you post for the general public. Trade accounts carry their own agreed price schedule, applied to their tickets, which the public never sees.

What happens if the weighbridge connection drops?

The operator enters the weights from the indicator display and the ticket records that they were entered by hand, by whom, and optionally a photograph of the display. When the connection returns, new tickets read from the bridge again; nothing is lost in between.

How are containers tracked?

Each skip or container has a number and a location: the yard, a lorry or a customer site. The driver confirms every delivery, exchange and collection on the round sheet, so the office can see where every container is and how long it has been there.

Does it submit returns to official systems?

No. References from official waste tracking or permit systems are recorded against the load so the ticket and the official record can be matched, and where a system publishes an interface, reading references in is a custom option. The returns themselves are made on the official platform.

Is this a finished product I can see running?

Not yet. The readiness badge on this page shows the real state: the package is a custom build assembled from our bookings, inventory, orders and documents modules for each yard, and the ticket screen above is a labelled concept demo rather than a live client system. Needs beyond the listed options go through custom recycling software development.
