Waste brokers and Facilities Managers are intermediaries or ‘service providers’ that facilitate the buying, selling, and management of waste-related services and materials between waste generators, waste producers, waste management companies, recycling facilities, and other stakeholders. The more automated the communication lines are the more profitable everyone can be, and that’s where software comes in.
Waste brokers play a vital role in optimising waste management collection logistics and processes for businesses, industries, and facilities. It involves the facilitation of waste disposal and recycling services with their customers through the coordination and collaboration between waste producers and waste management transport providers, who are their suppliers.

Facilities managers need to be able to efficiently track waste streams, identify waste disposal requirements, and engage with authorised waste service providers.
Waste brokers play a valuable role in connecting different parts of the waste management industry, however with high volumes necessitating efficient, automated communication and a maze of regulations demanding constant attention to ensure compliance, legal risks exist, as brokers may be liable for improper handling.

Data management is key for tracking, compliance, and transparency and automation is crucial due to low margins, so a failure to modernise with technology poses another challenge for waste brokers and facilitate managers.
