Show where your waste went, load by load.
Finding out you've exceeded a waste threshold after the fact is too late to do anything about it. FlexManager's Waste Log module tracks waste against thresholds you define, alerts you before a limit is reached, and forecasts future generation from historical data, so waste management stays proactive.
Waste Log connects with a variety of convenient FlexManager modules, so waste data ties into wider site activity and reporting rather than sitting in isolation. Thresholds are set by category, alerts flag levels approaching a limit, and forecasting uses historical data to show where waste generation is heading relative to your goals.
Paper transfer notes
Consignment notes sit in a cabin drawer or a van until someone needs one.
Totals by hand
Someone adds up the month in a spreadsheet, in whatever units each site used.
Permit limits unchecked
Nobody adds up waste against the permit until the limit has already gone.
From load to total
Each load is logged once, then shows up on the site, the contractor, the reports and, with Permit Control, the permit.
Log
Add loads against the site by type, date and quantity; each type has its own unit and colour.
Detail
Add the consignment number, EWC codes, UN numbers, disposal contractor and photos.
Track
Each load appears on the site and contractor profiles, and in search, reports and charts.
Alert
With Permit Control, the people you choose are alerted as a permit's waste allowance nears or passes.
Key features & benefits
Mobile-to-Desktop Integration
Log waste in the field and have it reported to desktop instantly, so records stay current without a separate step back at the office.
Threshold Alerts
Get notified before you approach a waste threshold, giving you time to act rather than finding out only after a limit's been crossed.
Custom Waste Thresholds
Define waste categories and thresholds that reflect your own operation, rather than working from a generic, one-size-fits-all limit that doesn't match your site.
Informed Forecasting
Predict future waste generation based on historical data, giving a realistic view of where you're tracking against your waste goals.
Waste Reduction Insights
Monitor waste generation and disposal patterns over time, surfacing opportunities for reduction, recycling or more sustainable practices across your operation.
Detailed Waste Records
Keep accurate, detailed records of waste disposal over time, supporting the reporting that waste regulations typically require of your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FlexManager's Waste Log module?
Waste Log is FlexManager’s module for tracking waste output against thresholds you define. It sends alerts before a limit is reached and forecasts future waste generation from historical data, so waste management stays proactive rather than reactive.
How do threshold alerts work?
You set the threshold for each waste category, and Waste Log notifies you as levels approach that limit. This gives you time to act before a threshold is actually reached, rather than discovering an exceedance only after it’s already happened.
Can I define my own waste categories and thresholds?
Yes. Waste categories and thresholds are defined by you, based on how your operation actually generates and manages waste, rather than a generic limit applied across every site. This keeps tracking relevant to your specific waste output and goals.
Does Waste Log help with forecasting future waste generation?
Yes. Waste Log uses historical data to forecast future waste generation, giving a realistic view of where your waste output is heading relative to your goals. This helps with planning rather than only reacting once a threshold has already been reached.
Does Waste Log help identify opportunities for waste reduction?
Yes. Waste Log monitors waste generation and disposal patterns over time, surfacing opportunities for reduction, recycling or more sustainable practices. Rather than only tracking against a threshold, this gives a longer-term view of how waste output is trending across your operation.
Can I log waste data from the field?
Yes. Waste can be logged from the field through mobile-to-desktop integration, with entries reported to desktop instantly. This keeps waste records current without requiring a separate step to re-enter field data once someone is back at a desk.
Why choose FlexManager for my waste log requirements?
FlexManager has supported environmental and HSEQ teams tracking waste since 2011, shaped by people who’ve actually managed waste permits and thresholds, not just built a logging tool from the outside. FlexManager is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 certification, and it’s the ISO 14001 environmental management standard in particular that shapes how Waste Log tracks thresholds and keeps detailed waste records, supporting the recordkeeping waste regulations typically require rather than guaranteeing compliance on its own.
