Fleet management for waste and recycling

Whether you run kerbside collection or skip hire, EROAD helps your drivers stay safer on early starts and keeps track of your trucks, skips and plant. When a client asks if a job was done, you’ll have the record to show them.

Know where your trucks went and where your skips are

When every round looks like the last one, nobody remembers whether one street got done last Tuesday, or when a skip left a building site. A client or a regulator won’t take a best guess. They want the record, and EROAD keeps it for you.

Your fleet

Choose the right device for each asset

Your trucks and plant can be hardwired, but a skip on a building site has no power at all. Whatever you fit, it all reports to MyEROAD, so you see your whole operation together.

Safety

Driver safety on collection rounds

A driver can be well inside their legal hours and still be dangerously tired. On an early start, on streets they know by heart, they’re often the last to notice. EROAD helps you spot fatigue and risky driving, so you can step in sooner and coach the drivers who need it.

Fatigue detection

Eye closure and yawning picked up in the cab, with a voice alert for the driver and a note to the office at the same time - add seat shaker for a physical alert, and third party monitoring for 24/7 escalation.

Clarity Edge Fatigue Camera

Rear and side cameras

Your trucks constantly work beside people and parked cars. See around your vehicles with rear and side cameras with an optional live feed on an in-cab display.

Clarity Edge Multicam

Driver behaviour reports

In-cab coaching via the Ehubo2. Speeding and harsh driving reported driver by driver, so you know who to talk to and what about. Add site-specific safety limits - and see who's complying with Virtual Speed Cameras.

Compliance records for waste fleets

From fuel tax credits to Chain of Responsibility, a waste fleet has a lot to prove. EROAD builds the record as your fleet works, so it’s ready when an auditor or client asks and nobody has to chase paperwork. The obligations are still yours, and the records help you show you’ve met them.

Track and manage bins, skips and plant

Skips get left on sites for weeks and machines sit idle without anyone noticing. See your bins, skips, plant and trucks in one place, so you can plan around what’s really where. Draw a geofence around a site and you’ll have a record of when something left it.

Bins and skips

A Bluetooth tag that your trucks’ Ehubo2 units pick up as they pass, so you know where each one was last seen

Fuel reporting and idle time per vehicle, so you can spot trends. The utilisation dashboard shows which trucks are over- or under-used.

FAQ

What waste operators ask us

Light vehicles can run EROAD Locate, which plugs into the OBD-II port. Plant and equipment without a port are covered differently: Etrack G70 wires into the machine's own power, or Etrack Oyster 3 runs on its own battery. 

Yes. Battery trackers are built for non-powered assets and report on a schedule rather than continuously, which is what makes the battery last. An Etrack Where tag works differently: it's Bluetooth, picked up by an Ehubo2 within 70 metres, so a bin on a quiet site shows where a truck last saw it. Metal can weaken or block the signal, so it's worth testing one on a steel skip first. 

Retrospective Activity and Trip Investigator show which vehicles were in an area between two times you choose, so you can see whether a truck went down that street, and when. It can't confirm a bin was actually emptied, but it answers whether the truck was there. 

Yes, with job coding. Trips are tagged with a job code, so the kilometres you invoice match the ones driven for that job. 

They enter a four-digit PIN on the in-cab unit before setting off, so time behind the wheel is logged against a person rather than a registration. In a mixed-use light vehicle, they also mark each trip business or private for Fringe Benefits Tax. It all happens on the Ehubo2, with no extra app and no mobile device management.
