Still using paper WTNs and spreadsheets?
Most UK waste collection companies are still running on paper Waste Transfer Notes, Excel route sheets, and manual Sage data entry. There's a better way.
Paper Waste Transfer Notes
Pre-printed WTN pads with missing data, illegible handwriting, and no digital backup. 41% fail Environment Agency audits.
Manual Route Planning
Hours spent each week planning routes with Excel spreadsheets and printed maps. Drivers sent down car-only roads in heavy vehicles.
Double Data Entry
Drivers write on paper, admin re-types into Sage. 3+ hours per week wasted on data that should flow automatically.
No Driver Visibility
No idea where your drivers are, which collections are complete, or if problems have occurred. Phone calls and WhatsApp groups instead of real data.
With PaperRoute: All your service requests, routes, and compliance documents managed from one dashboard — no paper, no spreadsheets, no double entry.
How it works
From collection to invoice —
without the paperwork.
Five steps. One system. No paper changing hands.
Job booked
Customer books a collection. Job appears in the scheduler instantly — no phone calls, no re-typing.
Driver collects (offline)
Driver follows the route on the app. Works with zero signal — basements, rural farms, industrial estates.
WTN generated automatically
Customer signs digitally. WTN PDF created in ~30 seconds with EWC codes, hazardous indicators, and your branding.
COD sent automatically
Certificate of Destruction emailed to the customer the moment the job is completed. No manual step.
Invoice raised & synced
Invoice pushed to Sage, QuickBooks, or Xero. Documents appear in the customer portal automatically.
Customer Self-Service
Give your customers their own portal
Every customer gets a branded login where they can access their Waste Transfer Notes, Certificates of Destruction, collection history, and upcoming schedules — without calling your office. Fewer admin calls, happier customers, and a professional image that sets you apart from competitors still emailing PDFs.
Waste Transfer Notes
Customers download every WTN as a signed PDF — no chasing paperwork, no phone calls.
Certificates of Destruction
Branded, witness-signed certificates available on demand for audit and compliance.
Collection History
Full record of every collection: dates, weights, waste types, and EWC codes.
Upcoming Collections
Customers see their scheduled collections and planned routes at a glance.
Complete waste collection software in one platform
Route planning, waste compliance, Sage invoicing, and an offline driver app. No other waste management system combines all of this for UK collectors.
Route Planning & Driver Tracking
Create recurring collection routes with planned stops, optimise sequences, and calculate accurate ETAs. Unlike competitors that use car routing, PaperRoute uses truck-specific routing — so your vehicles are never sent down roads with bridge height restrictions, weight limits, or HGV restrictions. Know exactly where every driver is with continuous GPS tracking.
- Truck-safe routing (bridge heights, weight limits, HGV restrictions)
- Route optimisation with automatic re-sequencing
- Live GPS tracking at 10-second intervals
- Offline-first driver app — works everywhere
Sage, QuickBooks & Xero Integration
Collection data flows directly into your accounting software. No more re-typing driver paperwork into Sage. PaperRoute is the only waste management platform that generates self-bill purchase invoices in Sage for subcontractor payments — a feature waste companies rely on daily.
- Self-bill purchase invoices (unique to PaperRoute)
- Deferred & consolidated invoicing
- Automatic tax rate matching
- Customers stay in sync with Sage automatically
Certificates of Destruction
Full Certificate of Destruction workflow with a drag-and-drop template editor, custom branding, witness signatures, and material descriptions. Essential for confidential waste destruction services. No other waste management competitor offers this.
- Drag-and-drop template editor
- Custom branding per customer
- PDF generation & email delivery
- Witness signature support
Digital Waste Transfer Notes
Generate legally-compliant digital WTNs with e-signatures directly from your driver's phone — even with zero signal. Complete with hazardous waste indicators, EWC codes, and custom branding. Ready for DEFRA's October 2026 Digital Waste Tracking mandate.
- Instant PDF generation (works offline)
- Electronic signature capture
- Hazardous waste indicators & EWC codes
- Custom branded templates
Offline-First Driver App
Built from the ground up to work with no phone signal — not "works offline sometimes" but designed for basements, rural farms, and industrial estates where your drivers actually work. Everything syncs automatically when signal returns.
- Works everywhere — even with zero signal
- WTN & signature capture without connectivity
- Background GPS tracking continues offline
- Auto-sync when connectivity returns
Real-Time GPS Tracking
Continuous GPS tracking at 10-second intervals so you always know where every driver is. See live route progress on a fleet dashboard, get driver proximity alerts, and review full trail history with breadcrumbs.
- Live tracking at 10-second intervals

Common questions
Do I need this for Digital Waste Tracking (DWT)?
DEFRA's DWT system requires digital WTNs from October 2026 for most waste carriers, with phased rollout into 2027. PaperRoute generates compliant digital WTNs already — but most operators start using it to save admin time long before compliance kicks in.
Is the driver app iOS only?
The driver app works on both iOS and Android. The web-based admin panel works on any browser.
