PaperRoute Lite

Paperroute Lite helps small waste carriers create organised waste transfer note records and prepare for DEFRA Digital Waste Tracking.

Built for sole traders, one-van operators and small waste businesses, Paperroute Lite gives you a simple way to move everyday waste paperwork from paper forms and spreadsheets into a clear digital workflow.

Create waste transfer note records, capture signatures, generate PDFs and email documents directly to your customers from your phone.

As DEFRA’s Digital Waste Tracking service rolls out across the UK waste sector, small operators will need better, clearer and more consistent waste records. Paperroute Lite helps you get ready by organising the key information commonly needed for waste transfer notes and digital waste tracking workflows, including customer details, collection addresses, waste descriptions, EWC codes, destinations, vehicles, weights and signatures.

Built for small waste operators

Paperroute Lite is designed for businesses that need practical waste paperwork tools without the complexity of a full operations platform.
Set up your business profile, add regular customers, save common waste streams, store destinations and vehicles, create a WTN, capture customer and carrier signatures, then generate a PDF copy for your records or email it straight to your customer.

Get ready for digital waste tracking

Paperroute Lite helps small waste carriers prepare for the move away from paper-based waste paperwork. It gives you a simple, structured way to record the information you may need when creating waste transfer notes and preparing for future digital waste tracking processes.

It is not a complex fleet dispatch system. There is no heavy back-office setup, driver scheduling system or route planning module. Paperroute Lite focuses on the core record-keeping workflow small carriers need day to day.
The app can help you prepare and organise information for waste transfer notes and digital waste tracking workflows. You remain responsible for checking that your records, waste descriptions, EWC codes, carrier details, destination details, weights and signatures are accurate for your business and waste activity.

Paperroute Lite is not an official DEFRA, Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, SEPA, NIEA or local authority service.
