Waste Collection Lifecycle Flow

Provide a smooth waste collection workflow that automates scheduling and billing. Capture requests online, schedule routes, track weights, and automate invoicing.

Waste Collection Features:

• Request Capture: Accept pickup requests directly from public website forms or log them manually.
• Route & Driver Assignment: Consolidate collection points into optimal routes, assigning designated vehicles and drivers.
• Weighbridge Tickets: Drive precision weight-based billing by capturing gross, tare, and net weights upon truck arrival.
• Billing: Raise sales orders and invoices based on container counts, flat fees, or net weights.

Public Waste Services Website

Your branded website home page presenting services, the operating process, and subscription pricing, with live counters of requests and pickups handled.

Website Service Request

Responsive public website form where commercial or residential customers can submit waste collection requests with preferred time slots.

Collection Request

Request form displaying category selection, customer address, priority levels.

Pickup Order Planning

Operational pickup order scheduling screen where vehicles, drivers, route stops, and expected container sizes are managed.

Weighbridge from the Pickup

From a collected pickup order, create a weighbridge ticket in one click to capture the load's weight.

Weighbridge Ticket

The weighbridge ticket records gross, tare, and net weight, which then feeds the weight-based billing.

Customer Invoicing

Generated Odoo customer invoice carrying billing terms, waste weight details, and container service charges.

Buy-Back Intake & Payout Flow

Acquire recyclables from suppliers efficiently. Log incoming intake records, calculate purchase values via weighbridge tickets, and auto-draft vendor bills.

Buy-Back Flow Features:

• Supplier Inbound Tracking: Log details of incoming waste materials from suppliers (metals, plastics, cardboards, etc.).
• Weighbridge Calculation: Determine net weight dynamically via vehicle tare and gross weight records to calculate payouts.
• Vendor Bill Generation: Draft purchase orders and vendor bills matching confirmed intake weight tickets.

Buy-Back Intake Entry

Intake form registering inbound supplier details, selected waste types, container loads, and processing stages.

Weighbridge Ticket

Detailed weight ticket recording gross/tare weights, and net waste calculations.

Supplier Payout (Vendor Bill)

Instantly generated draft vendor bill linked back to the weighbridge ticket for quick, audit-compliant payouts.

Recycling & Processing (MRP)

Standardize waste sorting and recycling operations. Configure raw waste components and track output yield through manufacturing orders.

MRP Processing Capabilities:

• Recycle Bills of Materials (BOM): Define input quantities of raw waste and expected output quantities of recycled/processed materials.
• Manufacturing Orders: Record actual raw waste consumed and yields produced to update inventory stock counts.
• Residue & Scrap: Log and isolate non-recyclable materials using native Odoo scrap locations.

Manufacturing Order

Odoo MRP Manufacturing Order tracking input bulk waste categories, sorting/processing operations, and resulting recycled product outputs.

Scrap Entry

Scrap registration screen to log unrecyclable waste residue or hazardous contaminants pushed out of the main recycling run.

Fleet & Collection Route Operations

Optimize collection stops and dispatch drivers and vehicles dynamically.

Operations Features:

• Vehicle Settings: Set capacity thresholds and waste compatibility flags for each waste truck.
• Driver Rosters: Manage driver shifts, commercial license levels, and daily stop assignments.
• Route Stop Planning: Organize pickup schedules into optimized geo-stop routes to reduce fuel and collection times.

Vehicle Form

Vehicle profile form indicating waste type compatibility rules, max payload constraints, and linked Odoo Fleet odometer logs.

Collection Route

Master route configuration identifying scheduled geographic zones, collection frequencies, and assigned crew members.

Time Slots

Enable customers to choose their preferred 2-4 hour collection window, reducing missed pickups and improving route efficiency.

Collection Subscriptions & Schedules

Subscription Plans

Configure recurring pickup agreements with rules for weekly, biweekly, or monthly intervals, linking them directly to Odoo products.

Automated Collection Run

Auto-generate daily pickup schedules and customer route assignments based on active subscription agreements.

Waste Management Configuration & Setup

Map accounting accounts, establish material pricing matrices, configure weighbridge parameters, and structure collection routes.

Configuration Features:

• Account & Journal Setup: Map waste collection, processing, and buy-back payout types to specific Odoo journals and income/expense accounts.
• Material Categories & Pricing: Configure default purchase/sales products and prices per unit weight for various waste types (plastic, metal, organic).
• Weighbridge & Location Rules: Configure active weighbridges, virtual processing locations, and sorting yard route rules.

Waste Category Configuration

Classify waste items (recyclables, compostable, hazardous) with pricing matrices, hazard level ratings, and default Odoo packaging.

Waste Management Reporting & Compliance

Analyze waste collection volumes, track route optimization performance, monitor partner ledgers, and issue disposal compliance certificates using Odoo reporting views.

Reporting Capabilities:

• Waste Intake Analysis: Graphical and pivot reports tracking collected weights, waste material categorization, and landfill diversion rates.
• Route Performance: In-depth metrics highlighting scheduled versus completed collection stops, missed pick-ups, and active route times.
• Partner Ledgers: Aggregate reports summarizing customer billing, supplier buy-back payouts, and lifetime waste volume stats.
• Environmental Compliance: Dedicated logs tracking generated waste manifests, hazardous transport documentation, and green recycling certificates.

Waste Intake Analysis Report

Pivot and graph view tracking total waste weight over time, segmented by waste category, customer, or routing agent.

Disposal & Recycling Compliance Certification

Consolidated view of issued official recycling and disposal certificates to customers for environmental regulatory compliance audits.
