The shared map UK waste and environmental services run from
Round supervisors, transfer station managers and environmental services leads use Pin Drop to plot bins, sites and permitted facilities, and to keep duty-of-care records pinned to the place they were generated.

FEATURED APP
Bin rounds with geometry that matches the lorry
A North London council collecting from 92,000 properties on a five-day rotation cannot run the round from a printed list. Pin Drop holds the round as a sequence of polygon catchments, with the dropped-bin reports, the missed collections and the access notes pinning to the actual address.
Duty of care where the waste actually moves
Every transfer of waste under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 needs a written record. Pinning the transfer note to the producer site, the carrier and the receiving facility means the chain of custody is geographic, not a shared inbox at head office. Audits become a map walk, not an archaeology dig.
Crew territories that follow the round, not the postcode
Round supervisors draw the territory the crew actually drives. Each crew opens the mobile app and sees only their territory, with the day's missed collections, the contamination reports and the route variation already loaded.
Permitted sites and Environment Agency records
A waste operator running a transfer station, a household waste recycling centre and a treatment facility holds three different EA permits with three different conditions. Pin Drop pins the permit boundary, the conditions register, the inspection history and the next reporting deadline to each site, so the SHEQ lead opens the map and sees compliance status without opening a single PDF.

Operations that revolve around where the waste is
From the kerbside to the receiving facility
Waste is the most geographic of operational sectors. Every bag has a producer, a route, a carrier and a destination, and each one is a place. A regional environmental services firm working contracts for three London councils, two facilities management groups and a private hospital trust runs all of them off Pin Drop. The kerbside contract uses round polygons, with each missed collection logged by the crew on the mobile app. The commercial contract uses pin-per-customer, with the transfer note generated and emailed at the lift. The facility contract uses permit polygons with the EA inspection history. The SHEQ manager looking at the map at 16.00 on a Friday sees the open contamination reports, the three crews still finishing the round and the transfer station nearing capacity.
