The Paper Days Are Over—And Tipper Operators Who Stay Behind Will Lose Out
Why digital proof of waste movements is now essential if you want to keep winning work
There’s been a major shift in how construction and demolition (C&D) waste is handled—and if you’re a tipper truck operator still using paper dockets, you need to know what’s changed.
The EPA’s 2021 Waste Management Guidelines now require every movement of material—rubble, soil, planings, waste, aggregates—to be tracked, recorded, and auditable. And guess what? That responsibility doesn’t just sit with developers. It extends to you—the hauliers moving the loads.
What’s Changed—and What It Means for You
According to the EPA Best Practice Guideline 2021, developers must now:
Keep records of all materials coming onto and leaving a site
Record exact quantities, contractor/haulier details, and disposal or recovery locations
Provide full traceability for materials reused, recycled, or sent for disposal
That means they need clean, digital data—and they need it from you.
If you’re handing over handwritten dockets or vague job info, you’re making it harder for them to comply. And when it comes time to bid for the next project, they’ll choose the haulier who makes their life easier.
If You’re Not Digital, You’re Risking Work
Clients are now asking questions like:
“Can you provide digital records of all loads?”
“Can you show where each load went?”
“Can you track recycling vs landfill?”
If your answer is “no” or “we use paper,” don’t be surprised if your name falls off the preferred supplier list.
In contrast, operators using Hub360 can show:
Real-time tracking of every load
Timestamped, geo-tagged proof of drop-offs
Digital records of materials and destinations
Reports ready for the developer to plug into their audit file
You’re not just doing your job—you’re helping your client stay compliant. And that makes you more valuable than ever.
