1. What is a transfer run

A transfer run is a scheduled job where a driver travels to a licensed waste transfer site — rather than to a customer site. This is typically used when a driver is bringing aggregated waste from multiple collections to a transfer station, treatment facility, or disposal site. Transfer runs are linked to a site record in your Sites module.

2. How transfer runs differ from collections

When you select Transfer Run as the collection type, the Assignment section shows an additional Transfer Site field that replaces the customer picker. The site field is populated from your saved sites. The customer field is still available if you want to record which customer's waste is being taken on this run.

3. Transfer run fields

These fields are specific to or particularly important for transfer runs.

4. In the driver app

When a driver opens a transfer run job in the driver app, it shows as a Transfer Run type. The DriverTransferRun component provides a specialised view with information about the destination site and the waste being transferred. The driver can edit EWC codes on-site if the actual waste differs from what was planned.

Transfer site must exist in Sites first

The transfer site dropdown is populated from your saved sites. If the transfer facility is not showing, go to the Sites module (/app/sites) and add it there first before scheduling the transfer run.

Use driver notes for weighbridge instructions

Include the weighbridge location, tip road number, or contact details for the site manager in the Driver Notes field. This avoids drivers having to call the office while on site.

Transfer runs and waste transfer notes

Scheduling a transfer run does not automatically create a waste transfer note. The driver still needs to create a note (or use a season ticket) to document the actual waste transfer. Use the collection schedule as the work order and the waste note as the legal document.

Common Mistakes

• Using a regular Collection type when the job is actually a transfer run — this means the transfer site field will not be available and the job will not show the correct type in the driver app.

• Not adding the transfer site to the Sites module before trying to schedule the run — the Transfer Site picker will be empty if no sites are saved.

• Scheduling transfer runs without EWC codes — the driver needs to know the expected waste types before arriving at the transfer site.
