Digital waste tracking is now mandatory for receiversThe guide

’s skips and containers,
tracked as assets.

Skips, roll-on-roll-off containers and bins are assets you need to keep account of. LoadSnap tracks each one, assigns it to jobs and vehicles, and follows it through the deliver, exchange and collect cycle - so you always know what is on which site and what is due back. You do not need a separate skip-hire system bolted on the side.

Your containers, accounted for

Know what's where, and what's coming back.

Asset register

Every skip, RoRo and bin on the books, with type, size and a unique ID or QR.

Assigned to jobs and vehicles

Put the right container on the right job and vehicle, so the driver knows exactly what to drop and lift.

Deliver, exchange, collect

Follow each asset through its full cycle, including swaps where one container comes off and another goes on.

On-site visibility

See which containers are out, on which sites, and how long they have been there.

QR check-in and out

Scan a skip QR at delivery and collection to log the move and link it to the load.

Utilisation

Spot idle assets sitting on sites and the ones working hardest, so you buy and move stock on evidence.

No bolt-on needed

You do not need a separate skip-hire system.

It is a common assumption that asset tracking means buying dedicated skip-hire software and running it alongside your compliance tool. LoadSnap tracks the assets in the same place it runs the jobs, the drivers and the paperwork, so there is one system and one source of truth.

  • One source of truth

    Assets, jobs, vehicles and documents on the same records.

  • Driver knows the asset

    The assigned skip shows on the job, so nothing is dropped or lifted by guesswork.

  • Tied to billing

    Container hire and exchanges feed the same invoicing that bills the collection.

Hire them out too

Plant and skips on hire, from the same place.

Mini diggers, skid steer loaders and tracked dumpers go on hire the same way a skip goes out on a job. Each machine has its own page, each kind of skip has a page with how many you have and where they are, and you can see what each one earns against what it costs.

  • Priced from your rates

    A day, a weekend, a week or a day with an operator, whichever is cheaper for the customer.

  • Never booked twice

    A machine already booked on a day cannot be booked for that day again.

Questions

Good to know.

01Do I need a separate skip-hire system?
No. LoadSnap tracks skips, containers and bins as assets in the same system that runs your jobs, drivers, vehicles and compliance, so you do not need to buy and run dedicated skip-hire software alongside it.
02What can LoadSnap track as an asset?
Skips, roll-on-roll-off containers and wheeled bins. Each asset has a type, size and unique ID or QR, and can be assigned to jobs and vehicles and followed through delivery, exchange and collection.
03Does it handle skip exchanges?
Yes. An exchange where one container is collected and another delivered on the same visit is recorded as two asset moves on the one job, so the on-site picture stays accurate.

Digital waste tracking is live

The mandate is here.
Automate compliance.

Receiving sites in England and Wales have had to record every load digitally since 1 October 2026. Start a 14-day free trial in minutes, cancel any time before it ends, and file every load from day one.
