    Why recyclers choose ContainerGrid

    Software that brings you business.

    ContainerGrid runs take-back programs for enterprises. Operators on the network receive the orders those programs generate, dispatched, documented, and settled through the same system you run your yard on.

    1M+ real orders. Six years in production.

    70+ recyclers run their operations here. Not a pilot, but a proven system.

    30,000+ material articles out of the box.

    Keep your own article names. Our AI merges them with the standard and assigns a rating, turning 'mixed cable scrap' into the right catalog article with a quality grade. No months of setup. Buyers and processors mean the same thing from day one.

    Free when program-funded.

    When an enterprise program funds your participation, your seats cost nothing.

    The only recycling software that comes with order volume attached.

    No lock-in. No hidden pricing. Monthly, cancel anytime: 10% off yearly, 15% off 2-year prepay.

    Nothing to install. ContainerGrid runs in the browser, and every improvement is live in your account the moment we ship it.

    Applications are reviewed within 5 working days. Qualified operators become visible to enterprise program owners immediately.

    • Equipment / processing capabilities
    • Indicative monthly capacity

    Network Application

    ( 06 ) — The Operations Suite

    Can it run your operation? Six capability groups say yes.

    Before → After

    Before: five tools and a whiteboard: dispatch by phone, weighbridge slips retyped, invoices reconciled by hand.

    After: one system: orders to invoice, yard to driver app, documented automatically.

    Orders & Dispatch

    Take work in, plan it, send it out.

    • Order & contract management, dispatching, scheduling
    • Customer service portal

    Yard & Driver App

    The software your drivers and yard staff actually use each shift.

    • Yard management with automated documentation
    • Mobile app for drivers and yard staff

    Materials & Trading

    Know what you have and match it to demand. The same infrastructure enterprise programs run on.

    • Virtual Material Hubs: material pooled digitally across sites, routed as one stream
    • Inventory forecasting: see material positions ahead, not behind

    Billing & Payments

    Invoice cleanly, get paid faster.

    • DATEV-ready invoicing and invoice processing
    • NFC payments (add-on)

    Works With Your ERP

    Connect to the systems and partners you already work with.

    • Weighing slips fetched via webhook: no double entry, no rip-and-replace
    • Hazardous waste handled digitally: eANV / ZEDAL workflow (add-on)

    Subcontractors & Optimization

    Run subs as first-class citizens; squeeze more out of the same shifts.

    • Subcontractor qualification, portal, and dispatch: not just your own fleet
    • Route and allocation optimization across tours, containers, drivers, and orders
