What You Get Inside
The features businesses actually use, day to day.
QR-Managed Bins
Every bin carries a unique QR code. Scan it with any phone camera to see the bin's status, request a collection or check its history. No app, no paperwork, full audit trail.
Customer Portal
Your own portal for bin status, collection history, invoices, payment tracking and downloadable commercial reports — everything in one place.
Live Collection Tracking
SMS and email notifications before collection, live driver tracking, on-site weigh-in and instant payment confirmation with weight and total.
Free Bins, No Contracts
Secure bins are delivered, maintained and replaced free of charge. No long-term commitments — use the service when you need it, cancel anytime.
Fast Payment
Cable is weighed on-site during collection and payment is typically processed within 48 hours by bank transfer — transparent pricing from accurate weights.
Dedicated Support
Your account gets a dedicated commercial specialist who knows your site and requirements — not a call-centre queue.
Portal Tour
What the Portal Looks Like
Once your bin is on site, this is roughly what you see when you log in or scan the QR code: live bin status, your collection pipeline and payment confirmations.
Illustrated example with sample data — your portal shows your own bins, collections and payments.
