Benefits & How it Works

WasteTRACK is an internet based tracking system, which is available from any web enabled computer.  Each time a waste movement is requested by a waste generator, the waste contractor creates a tracking form with a unique number, that follows that waste from pickup through to ultimate treatment/disposal.  This allows each individual waste movement to be monitored.

WasteTRACK uses the waste contractor (carrier) as the key operator in the tracking process.  Before a contractor can begin using WasteTRACK, information regarding the operation is required to be entered into the database so that when a tracking form is being created it can access that information. The information required is:

1. Waste contractors details

• Company details e.g. name, address, phone number
• Manager’s names and details
• Administration staff names and details
• Vehicle details
• Driver’s details

2. Treatment plants (disposal sites) are registered in the system. 

• Company details e.g. name, address, phone number
• Manager’s names and details
• Administration staff names and details
• Waste categories accepted
• Treatment/disposal methods used

3. Waste generators can either register themselves or have theirare entered into the system by their can either register themselves or have their nominated waste contractor.  A unique waste generator ID number is then assigned to that generator.Waste generator information includes

• Business/individual name
• Address
• Contact person

Once a contractor has had their business registered with WasteTRACK and had their operation information entered by the system administrator, a user name and password are generated allowing them to begin using WasteTRACK to track the waste they carry.  Details regarding the waste transported are required to be entered.  These include: 

• Type of waste e.g. bulk or packaged
• Vehicle
• Driver
• The waste category
• Waste collection e.g. name, location, quantity
• Waste disposal e.g. treatment plant used
