What is WasteWorks?

WasteWorks is the secure, user-centred domestic waste management service for local authorities that integrates with your in-cab systems to simplify citizen access to all aspects of waste online.

Online waste management that’s not rubbish

WasteWorks reduces operating costs for councils, creates revenue, helps with channel shift and provides a better citizen experience.

Bin day checks

Intelligently display nuanced, time-sensitive information based on the citizen’s location. Handle bank holidays and other service pauses with ease.

New container requests

Let citizens self-serve requests for any type of new bin or container; check citizens meet your requirements and keep them up to date on drop-off timings.

Online bulky and green garden waste payments

Generate income through integration with the payment system of your choice to handle new subscriptions, renewals and direct debits for bulky or green garden waste.

Assisted collections

Take requests for assisted collections from citizens who need support from your waste crew to wheel their bins to and from the kerbside.

Handle offline requests, too

Under continual development

Benefit from our continual development roadmap in consultation with clients and users.

“It’s always a pleasure working with SocietyWorks. They have a robust understanding of both the citizen and the local authority’s needs and take a very collaborative approach to product development.”

Co-designed with councils

WasteWorks has been developed in collaboration with Bromley Council and tested against a different operating system at Peterborough City Council.

Here’s what Jonathan Richards, Technical Support Team Manager at Bromley had to say about WasteWorks:

“Bromley Council have been working in partnership with SocietyWorks for our online reporting for the street scene since 2012, so when we were looking at developing our online offering for Waste Services reporting, approaching SocietyWorks for their expertise was a natural fit.

A discovery session with one of SocietyWorks’ designers allowed us to scope out our specifications and to discuss how we could structure and overcome challenges, as well as bring in SocietyWorks’ experience in focussing on the citizen’s journey through the process and resulted in a clickable demo.

SocietyWorks provide a dedicated project manager and developer for each project, and with regular catch-up sessions and communication through Basecamp, all stakeholders are able to keep up-to-speed and feed in where’s needed. The SocietyWorks team are flexible and responsive to feedback and tweaking, so you really feel the product evolve.

Bromley have also introduced a second phase into the project looking at bringing our Green Garden Waste subscription service online and adding the additional challenges of integrating with the backend financial system, offering both debit card and direct debit payment options and subscription reminders.”

Jason Dalby, ICT Project Manager at Peterborough City Council added:

“It’s always a pleasure working with SocietyWorks. They have a robust understanding of both the citizen and the local authority’s needs and take a very collaborative approach to product development. This includes open discussions on their product roadmap with exciting enhancements being released regularly.”
