A dashboard is useful when it reflects a defined process. Before adding software to a bulk waste programme, establish what is generated, who handles it, where it goes and what evidence is retained.
Resolve five questions first
- Who is in scope? Identify the establishments, assess BWG applicability and assign a responsible person at each site.
- What is the baseline? Record waste quantities and composition, collection frequency, segregation quality and existing processing arrangements.
- What happens to each stream? Define storage, handover, transport and destination. Assess wet-waste processing and the applicable pathway.
- Who verifies the outcome? Specify service provider checks, measurement methods and the documents needed to support the records.
- What should trigger action? Agree which gaps need follow-up, who owns them and when they must be closed.
The SWM Rules, 2026 introduce four-stream segregation and a distinct responsibility framework for bulk waste generators. On-site wet-waste processing and approved arrangements must be evaluated under the applicable rules and local requirements.
Once the workflow is clear, a digital layer can connect generator records, collections, destinations and unresolved actions. Its purpose is to make responsibility visible and follow-up easier.
