Run professional operations.
Access enterprise programs.
Purpose-built operations software for recyclers, with access to premium recovery programs through the ContainerGrid network. Start free with a network profile; pay only when you run your own operations on the platform.
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.
Professionalize execution today. Qualify for enterprise programs as you build a track record.
Win Higher-Value Work
Access premium programs from OEMs, utilities, and service providers once you're qualified.
Fewer Disputes & Rejections
Acceptance criteria and evidence at every handoff reduce back-and-forth and failed pickups.

Automate documentation and reporting so your team spends less time on emails and spreadsheets.
Scale Across Sites Reliably
Standardize workflows across yards and plants while working alongside your existing ERP.
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
- Mobile assessment & dismantling (Befundung): units assessed and dismantling steps documented directly in the app
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
Configure it to your rules
Governed operations, not a rigid tool. You decide what drivers may do, what the app should capture, and what runs in the background.
- Driver permissions as switches: start unassigned orders, create follow-ups, choose the disposal site, reclassify material.
- Required-field prompts: flag photo, signature, weight, or weighing-slip scan as required in the driver app.
- Full audit trail per order: every signature, weighing slip, photo, and comment timestamped by author.
The details, handled.
The details nobody thinks about on day one. Already solved by month three.
- Batch actions
- — Select multiple orders, containers, or weighing slips and dispatch, create, or download them in one step.
- Driver-side reclassification
- — Drivers correct material classifications on site. No back-office ticket needed.
- Reverse-charge in DATEV
- — §13b UStG postings routed to the correct DATEV accounts in the export, ready for your tax advisor.
- Automated container accounts
- — Every movement booked automatically across 10+ order types.
- Two-factor authentication
- — 2FA included on every account: no add-on, no extra seat.
- Customer email service
- — Outbound transactional email for your customers, handled by the platform (add-on).
