Proof of Delivery App and Proof of Collection for Waste
A proof of delivery app gives you evidence for every skip drop, bin exchange and collection. Drivers capture timestamped photos, GPS location and customer signatures, so disputes about missed collections, contamination or damaged containers can be settled in seconds.
Why a Proof of Delivery App Saves Money
Disputes cost waste businesses time and money: "you didn't empty the bin", "the skip was dropped in the wrong place", "that wasn't our waste", "you damaged our gate". Without evidence, it's your word against the customer's, and you usually end up crediting the invoice.
A proof of delivery app settles disputes in seconds. Every drop, exchange and collection is backed by photos, a timestamp, a GPS location and, where needed, a signature. You can show exactly what happened, when and where.
Photos, Time and Location on Every Job
For every job, the driver app records:
Photos
before and after, for example of the container, the waste or the placement
The exact time
the job was completed
GPS location
from the driver's phone
Notes
such as access problems, overfilled containers or customer comments
The photos are stored with the job, not on the driver's personal camera roll, so they're always available to the office.
Customer Signatures
Customers sign on the driver's screen to confirm the collection or delivery. Their name, the time and the location are recorded alongside the signature. Where a waste transfer note is needed, the same signature completes the note, which is then emailed to the customer automatically.
Contamination and Rejected Loads
Contamination is one of the biggest sources of extra cost. When a driver finds the wrong waste in a container, they can photograph it, record it and mark the load as contaminated or rejected. The office can apply a surcharge or contact the customer with clear evidence, and the record shows why the load was treated differently.
Evidence Linked to Compliance Records
Proof of collection isn't just for disputes. The same photos, signatures and GPS data support your duty of care and digital waste tracking records. If a regulator asks where a load came from, you can show the job, the evidence and the Defra submission together.
