Digital waste tracking for scrap yards
Scrap yards have plenty of paperwork already. A digital receipt for every load in, within two working days of the day after it lands, is the bit nobody's got time for when the weighbridge is busy.
How it works
How a load in works at the weighbridge
Weigh it in. Pick the customer, waste code and weight.
The transfer note's done and signed.
The receipt goes to DEFRA.
Built for metal yards
Scrap metal yard software that takes your weighbridge tickets
Mixed load? More than one waste code on it is fine.
Already got weighbridge software? We can take a daily upload, so you're not keying every ticket in twice.
It runs online, so the weighbridge needs signal or wifi. We check that with you before you go live.
