Digital Waste Tracking for Glass Recycling Made Easy
Digital waste tracking for glass recycling doesn't have to mean more paperwork. Glass collectors serve pubs, bars and restaurants on regular rounds and deliver to permitted processing sites. We build a bespoke app around how your business works, so every job, weight and signature is captured once, digital waste transfer notes are sent automatically and your Defra records are submitted on time.
How Digital Waste Tracking for Glass Recycling Works
Glass collectors run regular rounds to pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels, and service bottle banks, then deliver to processors. As waste carriers, they're planned to come into scope of digital waste tracking in Phase 2.
Digital waste tracking for glass recycling means recording every round, lift and delivery digitally now, so you're ready when Phase 2 arrives.
Bottle Bank and Hospitality Rounds
The app plans regular hospitality rounds and bottle bank emptying, records lifts and weights, and flags missed or contaminated bins with photos.
Colour Separation and Quality
Where glass is collected by colour, the app records each stream separately, along with contamination, helping you maintain quality and processor prices.
Deliveries to Processors
Each delivery to a processor is recorded with weight and ticket, linked to the rounds it came from.
When Glass Recyclers Must Comply
Glass collectors are waste carriers, planned for Phase 2 from October 2027. If you operate a permitted glass processing or bulking site, Phase 1 already applies to what you receive.
