How it works for carriers

From booking to signed waste transfer note.

Waste collection made simple. We connect households and businesses with registered waste carriers, and give small waste businesses the tools to run every job.

  3. Take bookings online

    Switch on your booking page and send the link to customers. Bookings, with photos, land in the app for you to accept or decline.

  4. Do the job, paperwork done

    The driver fills in the waste transfer note or hazardous waste consignment note on site and the customer signs on screen. The invoice is made from the job.

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.
