Compliant Waste Transfer Notes, from your phone
The simple app for the one-van waste carrier. Create a compliant note, get it signed on site, and email the PDF to your customer — all before you've left the kerb. No paperwork, no shoebox of receipts, no faff.
The rules are changing
Waste paperwork in England is going digital
New digital waste tracking rules are coming, and paper Waste Transfer Notes are being phased out. Soon every waste movement will need to be recorded electronically — and “I'll write it on a pad in the van” won't cut it.
You don't need a £200-a-month platform built for fleets to get ready. You need a clean, compliant note you can produce in seconds and a record you can actually find. That's the whole point of PaperRoute Lite — go digital now, on your terms, before you're forced to.
Everything a one-van carrier needs. Nothing they don't.
The compliance essentials, fast enough to use between collections.
Compliant Waste Transfer Notes
Build a legally-formatted WTN in under a minute — EWC codes, waste description, quantities and both parties' details, every time.
Hazardous consignment notes
Carrying hazardous waste? Lite switches to a proper consignment note with UN number, proper shipping name, packing group and the process description.
Signature, captured on site
Your customer signs on the screen at the point of collection. No paper, no chasing, no lost copies.
Email the PDF in seconds
The finished note lands in your customer's inbox as a clean PDF before you've pulled away — with your logo and business details on it.
Works with no signal
Down a lane or in a basement? Create the note offline and Lite syncs and sends it automatically the moment you're back online.
Licence & vehicle checks built in
Look up your waste carrier registration and check a vehicle's MOT and tax status right inside the app, so your paperwork always lines up.
One tidy compliance archive
Every note is searchable and re-sendable. When someone asks for your records, they're already sorted — not in a shoebox in the van.
Made for one van, not a fleet
No routes, no dispatch, no logins to hand out. Just the compliance bit, fast enough to use between collections.
Signed, sealed, sent
Your customer signs on the spot
Hand them your phone, they sign on the screen, and that's your proof of a proper handover — captured digitally, no carbon-copy pad, nothing to lose. The finished PDF lands in their inbox before you've shut the van doors.
- On-screen signature at the point of collection
- Compliant PDF emailed to your customer instantly
- Every note saved to a searchable archive

Built for the cab
Works wherever the job takes you
Between collections, in the cab, down a lane with one bar of signal — Lite keeps up. Create and sign notes offline and they send themselves the moment you're back in coverage. No laptop, no office, no paperwork waiting for you at the end of the day.
- Fully offline — syncs automatically later
- Fast enough to use between every collection
- Built-in waste-carrier licence & vehicle checks
Whatever you haul, from one van
Household clearances, builders' waste, garden waste, scrap, end-of-life white goods — if it's just you and a van, Lite handles the paperwork for all of it, hazardous loads included.

Common questions
Who is PaperRoute Lite for?
Sole traders and one-van waste carriers who need compliant Waste Transfer Notes without a full operations platform. If it's just you (or you and a mate) collecting waste, Lite is built for you. If you run a team with routes, drivers and invoicing, look at full PaperRoute instead.
Do I really need digital Waste Transfer Notes?
Waste paperwork in England is going digital. New digital waste tracking rules are on the way, and paper transfer notes are being phased out — every waste movement will need to be recorded electronically. Getting onto a digital WTN now means you're ready early instead of scrambling later, and your records are already in order.
How much does it cost?
£11.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial when we launch. One simple price — no per-user fees, no setup cost, no long contract.
Does it handle hazardous waste?
Yes. When a load is hazardous, Lite produces a hazardous waste consignment note with the extra fields you're required to record — UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group and the process that produced the waste.
What if I've got no phone signal at the collection?
Lite is offline-first. You can create and sign the note with no signal — it's saved on your phone and sent automatically once you're back in coverage.
When does it launch?
It's in final testing now. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment it's live on the App Store and Google Play, along with your free trial.
