Business Cards are used to store and manage the organisations and locations involved in the waste management process. They provide a central place to maintain contact details, addresses, licences, and other key information for the different parties involved in waste generation, transport, and disposal.
Key Information Stored on a Business Card
Each Business Card can store important information about an organisation or location, helping ensure records are accurate and complete.
Typical information stored on a Business Card includes:
- Company name
- Service location
- Primary address
- Billing address
- Mailing address
- EPA (or equivalent) licence number
- Emergency phone number
Depending on the Business Card type, additional details such as contact information, account number, digital signatures, and operational notes may also be recorded.
Business Card Types
Business Cards are used to manage the following entity types:
- Customers – The customer is the organisation responsible for paying for the waste collection service, regardless of where the waste is generated.
- Generators – The generator is the location where the waste is generated.
- Transporters – The transporter is the organisation responsible for collecting and moving the waste between locations.
- Disposers – The disposer is the organisation responsible for receiving, treating, recycling, or disposing of the waste at its final destination.
- Brokers – The waste broker arranges the collection, transport, and disposal of waste by coordinating between waste generators and disposers.
- Sites – Sites are locations within your own organisation where waste is generated, stored, transferred, or managed.
