Important. If your site takes in waste, the deadline to start digital tracking with DEFRA is coming.

For hazardous waste carriers

One round. A dozen waste types. One note system.

The specialists have it easy. You take what the day brings: a drum of solvent, a tank of waste oil, a contaminated load, a clinical bag, all for different customers, all needing the right note. Consigns is the one app that makes the correct note for every stream you carry.

Breadth is the hard part of carrier work. This page is about handling all of it from one place.

Every stream you carry, one note system

Tell Consigns what is in the load. It reaches for the right document, every time, so your team never has to remember which form goes with which waste.

Hazardous loads move on the HWCN01 consignment note. Non-hazardous loads use a waste transfer note. Consigns picks the right one off the same job, and the EWC codes shown are illustrative, you confirm the exact code at the collection. New to the codes? Our EWC code lookup walks through it.

The hard part was never any one job

A tanker firm does liquids. A skip company does construction. They build one routine and repeat it. You cannot. The risk in mixed work is not the jobs, it is the switching between them, and never getting a single field wrong across all of it.

A mixed day, start to finish

Follow one driver through a varied round. Same app at every stop.

  1. 1

    Open the job

    The customer and their saved details are already there. No re-keying the same address for the tenth time this month.

  2. 2

    Name the waste

    Pick the stream and confirm the EWC code at the kerb. Consigns reads the waste type and reaches for the right note.

  3. 3

    Sign on site, even offline

    The customer signs with a finger. No signal on a rural job? It is captured on the phone and syncs the moment you are back in range.

  4. 4

    It files itself

    The finished note stores itself against that customer, searchable by date, stream or site. The next stop can be a completely different waste type. Same flow.

Ready for digital waste tracking, across every stream

Digital waste tracking is phasing in, sites first, and it applies to whatever you carry. Consigns is already live with DEFRA and sends the receipt for you when a load lands, so a mixed operation is covered on every stream, not just the easy ones.
