If there’s one thing every tipper operator dreads, it’s the unexpected knock-on costs from overloaded vehicles, especially when it ends in a fine. At VWS, we’ve worked closely with fleets across the waste and construction industries long enough to know just how much of a pain point load accuracy can be. It is not just about compliance. It is about protecting your bottom line, your operators, and your reputation.
Digital Waste Tracking is no longer something on the distant horizon. With mandatory changes coming into effect in October 2026, businesses that produce, carry, or receive waste will soon need to report every waste movement digitally and within 48 hours of it being received. That might sound like a lot of time, but failing to prepare now can result in some serious costs later.
Skip hire businesses know the pressure of getting skips out on time. When a delivery is delayed, everything else starts to slip. Customers call in frustrated, drivers are forced to reshuffle their routes, and your schedule begins to unravel. In an industry where time really is money, the ability to deliver skips on time isn’t just good service, it’s a competitive edge. The good news is that most delivery delays can be avoided. With better visibility, smarter planning, and the right tools like PurGo, skip hire operators can turn one of their biggest operational headaches into a strength.
When Scott Smith launched Bloomfield Resources, he had a clear vision: a waste and recycling business built on accuracy, transparency, and operational control. From the outset, he knew that the key to delivering this vision wasn’t just having the right fleet or team, it was having the right system in place to run the entire operation.
