One app, one office website

Everything a small waste business does in a day

One app for you and your drivers, and this website for the office.

Waste transfer notes

Filled in on site and signed on screen, with hazardous waste consignment notes and season tickets too.

Invoices

Invoice straight from the job, see what's still unpaid, and download files to import into Xero or QuickBooks Online.

Online bookings

Your own booking page. New customers ask for a collection and you accept or decline it.

Signs with no signal

The driver and customer can sign with no signal. The app sends the note once the phone has signal again. If it isn't sent within 7 days of signing, CWR Micro support has to check it before it is issued.

No app for your customers

Your customer signs on the driver's phone and gets a copy of the signed note. They don't need to install anything.

Drivers and vans

Add drivers, send them jobs, and keep vehicle checks and an inspection pack ready for when you're asked.

Digital waste tracking

Get ahead of the planned deadline

Digital waste tracking is planned to become law for waste carriers from October 2027. CWR Micro keeps every note digital now, and we plan to connect CWR Micro when the service is available to us.

Digital waste tracking isn't switched on in CWR Micro yet. The dates are Defra's plans and may change. Read Defra's plan on GOV.UK · Our digital waste tracking guide

For waste sites

Run a waste site?

Since 1 October 2026, permitted or licensed sites in England and Wales that receive controlled waste have had to report it to Defra's digital waste tracking service, with some exceptions such as household recycling centres. Sites in Scotland and Northern Ireland follow from 1 January 2027.

Clear Waste Route (CWR), our separate software for receiving sites, is listed on GOV.UK as software for reporting waste receipts. It works on its own, with or without CWR Micro.

In the office

Every note, there when you're asked

In England, a business keeps waste transfer notes for at least two years and hazardous waste records for at least three. CWR Micro keeps each note at least that long, so you can find them when you're asked.

For households and businesses

How requesting a collection works

Three steps, and a signed waste transfer note at the end of it.

  1. Open your carrier's booking link

    Carriers who use CWR Micro have their own booking page. Open the link your carrier sent you, or ask them for it.

  2. Request online in a few minutes

    Say what needs collecting, add photos of the waste and pick a day. We text you a code to check it's you. It's free, and the carrier confirms the day and price with you.

  3. The carrier confirms and collects

    The carrier confirms the day and the price. On the day, the driver fills in the waste transfer note on their phone, you sign it on screen and you get a copy.
