Waste Management Tracking — Containers, Trucks & Assets
A customer calls about a missing dumpster. You check three yards and two routes before finding it at the wrong address. Fix that.
Common challenges.
Common inventory challenges in waste management
Containers disappear between service stops
A 40-yard roll-off was delivered three weeks ago. The customer says it was picked up. Your driver says it wasn't on the route. Nobody has a record of where it actually is.
Replacement parts and PPE run out without warning
A hydraulic hose blows on a front-loader. You go to the parts shelf. Empty. Now a $40 part costs you $800 in downtime while you wait for rush delivery.
Fleet assets move between yards and routes with no trail
Compactors, containers, and service equipment shift between your three yards constantly. Asking drivers where something is takes longer than just driving there.
Insurance and compliance audits are a nightmare
Regulators want documentation on every container and vehicle. Serial numbers, service dates, placement history. You have some of it in a spreadsheet that hasn't been updated since last quarter.

How do I track where a container ended up?
Check the container out to a route, a driver, or a customer site, and check it back in on pickup. Each container keeps its full placement history, so when a customer disputes whether a roll-off was collected you can pull the dates rather than relying on what someone remembers. This is on the Pro plan at $49/mo and above.
Can drivers update from the truck?
Yes, through the iOS or Android app. Drivers scan a container tag with the phone camera and log the pickup or placement on the spot. The app needs a connection to save, so a stop in a dead zone has to be logged once the truck is back in coverage.
Does it track parts and PPE as well as containers?
Yes, and they are handled differently. Containers and equipment are assets you check out and back in. Hydraulic hoses, filters, and PPE are stock with counts and minimum levels, so you get an email alert before the shelf runs empty. Both live in the same account.
Will it help with compliance and insurance documentation?
Every asset can carry photos, serial numbers, purchase records, and a complete movement history showing where it has been and who moved it. When an auditor or adjuster asks for placement history or proof of ownership on a specific unit, that is a lookup rather than a spreadsheet reconstruction.
What does it cost for a hauler?

Business at $149/mo covers 5,000 items across 50 locations with 15 users, which fits a multi-yard operation. Enterprise at $349/mo is unlimited. Pricing is flat, with no per-container or per-driver fee. The 7-day free trial unlocks every feature on every tier, and no card is required to start.
