Volume by load and by drop
Record the litres you lifted on each pickup, so a single round with several drops still gives a clean figure per load. The note reads the way the receiving site weighs it in.
Built for liquid waste
Software for the tanker round, measured in litres
Vacuum tankers, gully waste, interceptor servicing and waste oil. Consigns makes the consignment note for every liquid load, captured by volume, signed at the gate, and sent to DEFRA for you. No dip readings on a damp pad.
Free for 14 days. Run a real round, make real notes, then decide.
The whole point
Litres in, tonnes on the note
You lift a liquid and you measure it by volume. The note needs a clean quantity. Consigns carries the litres you actually drew across to the consignment note, so nobody is squinting at a scrawled dip reading back at the yard.
1
Draw the load
Strip the interceptor, lift the oily water, empty the tank. You know the volume the moment the tanker is full.
2
Key the litres
The driver types the volume into the phone, by load and by drop. One figure, entered once, on the spot.
3
Onto the note
The quantity drops straight onto the consignment note. The receiving site weighs it in, and the two records line up.

The star means the code is always hazardous. Consigns keeps your common codes to hand, so the right one goes on the note instead of a guess. New to the list? See our guide to EWC codes.
Tanker work is not bin work
Most waste software is built around bins and skips: count the items, tick the box. Tanker work moves liquid, measures it in litres, and almost everything you carry is hazardous from the first drop. Consigns is set up for that, so the note matches how a tanker round really runs.
Carry dry waste too? See our software for hazardous waste carriers, or the wider hazardous waste software hub.

Interceptor servicing on repeat
Set up the recurring jobs once. Each scheduled visit comes round on the run sheet on its own, so a forecourt or depot contract never slips through the gaps.
Signed at the gate, no signal
The driver captures the load and the on-site signature offline. It syncs the moment the phone is back in range, so a remote interceptor or a dead-spot yard never holds up the note.
Live with DEFRA, sent for you
When a tanker load lands at the receiving site, Consigns sends the receipt to DEFRA digital waste tracking for you. DEFRA has checked Consigns and switched it on for the live system, so your records go for real, not into a test.
Digital waste tracking is phasing in across the sector, with sites first. There is more on what it means for carriers in our digital waste tracking software guide, and on the note itself in our digital consignment notes guide.

The keeping rule, handled for you
A hazardous waste consignment note in England and Wales must be kept by the producer for at least three years, and by the receiving site for five. Consigns holds every tanker note for the full period, searchable by customer, date or waste type. In Scotland the same liquids move as special waste under SEPA, on the special waste system.
A non-hazardous liquid load uses a waste transfer note instead, kept for two years. Consigns picks the right document for the waste type. Always check the current rule for your nation against gov.uk or SEPA.
