Landscaping companies generate green waste every day — branches, grass, soil from excavation. Although it seems harmless, its transport and disposal are subject to specific regulations. This article explains how to keep proper waste records and avoid fines.
What waste records are and who needs them
A waste register is a national database of products, packaging and waste management. Registration is mandatory for most companies that generate non-municipal waste — including landscaping firms that transport branches or soil off the client's site.
Operating without registration when it is required can result in administrative penalties reaching very high amounts.
Which waste you must record
Not every bag of leaves requires a waste transfer note. The key question is whether the waste leaves the client's property and where it ends up.
- Branches and wood chips taken to a composting facility
- Soil and spoil from planting excavations
- Waste from maintaining public greenery
- Packaging from fertilizers and plant-protection products
The waste transfer note
Every transport of waste off the site where it was produced should be documented with a transfer note, issued in the waste system before the transport begins.
How TaskForce simplifies accounting
Keeping records manually is time-consuming and error-prone. In TaskForce each job can have waste types and quantities assigned, and the system automatically compiles the data into a monthly report.
- Assign the waste type to the job in the field
- The worker confirms the quantity in the mobile app
- The coordinator generates the report with one click
Accounting for branches and soil stops being a monthly nightmare and becomes a natural part of the job lifecycle.
