The dumpster fills on its own schedule
Tournament week, a wedding, storm cleanup, overseed season — the load never arrives evenly, and nobody is watching the level. The first sign it's full is waste on the ground around it.
NO FILL VISIBILITYThe problem: the fullest thing on the course is invisible
Every golf course has the same blind spot, and it sits behind the maintenance building.
The truck comes on theirs
Your contract says Tuesday and Friday. Whether the truck actually came — and when — is something the yard finds out by looking, later. A missed pickup can sit unnoticed for days.
NO PICKUP CONFIRMATIONThere is no communication
Between a golf course and its hauler there is no shared system at all: no tracking, no status, no confirmation. An extra pull means a phone call, a voicemail, and hope. The invoice arrives with pulls nobody can verify.
NO SHARED RECORDThe fix: one desk between the course and the truck
The Waste Desk closes the blind spot without changing a thing about your waste service.
Fill level, always known
Crew checks in seconds whenever they pass the dumpster, or a fill-level sensor under the lid when you want it automatic. The board warns at three-quarters — before it's spilling, not after.
NO MORE OVERFLOW SURPRISESEvery container on one board
Most yards run more than one box — sometimes with more than one hauler. Each container gets its own card, its own fill meter, its own service days, its own countdown.
EVERY BOX, ONE BOARDWork orders, not voicemails
Extra pull, missed pickup, overflow cleanup, container repair, a size swap — each one numbered (WD-…) and sent to your hauler, who confirms it from a link. No account, no sign-in on their side.
NUMBERED & TRACKEDA pickup record you hold
Every pickup logged with its date and time. When the invoice says four pulls and the yard remembers two, the record settles it.
YOUR PROOF OF SERVICEThe Waste Desk Workflow™
Six steps, the same on every container, at every course. Read the full Workflow.
1
Profile
Set up each container once — hauler, size, service days, gate notes.
2
Check
Crew taps the fill level as they pass: quarter, half, three-quarters, full.
3
Watch
The board counts down to the next scheduled pickup and warns at three-quarters full.
4
Work Order
Full, missed, or broken — send a numbered work order (WD-…) straight to your hauler.
5
Confirm
When the truck lifts it, one tap logs the pickup and resets the board.
6
Record
Every check, order, and pickup stays on the record — your proof when the invoice arrives.
For golf courses
The Desk was built in a maintenance yard, for maintenance yards:
- Free, and no contract change: the Desk costs a course nothing, and your hauler, your price, and your service agreement stay exactly as they are.
- Built for more than one box: profile every container you run — front-load dumpsters, roll-offs, compactors — each with its own hauler and service days, all on one board.
- Checks take seconds: any crew member taps the level walking past — a quarter, half, three-quarters, full. No app install, no login, no training.
- Weekends watched: tournaments and weddings fill boxes on Saturday and Sunday, when most routes don't run. If a container is filling up heading into a weekend with no pickup scheduled, the board flags it before the weekend — not after the overflow.
- The record is yours: fill checks, pickups, and work orders kept together — the proof you check the invoice against, month after month.
For haulers
The Waste Desk sends you better customers' requests, not more phone calls:
- Numbered work orders: an extra pull or a missed-pickup report arrives as a clean, numbered request — course, contact, container, notes — instead of a voicemail.
- One-tap confirmation: the email carries a private link. Open it, tap Accept, On the way, or Done, add a note if you like. No account, no sign-in, nothing to install. The course sees your answer on their board.
- You stay the provider of record: you set the price, run the truck, and invoice the course exactly as today. The Desk is the communication layer — it never hauls, and it never touches payment for service.
- Fewer disputes: the pickup record both sides can see means fewer “you never came” calls — and documentation when you did.
Haulers: run a pilot with us
The Desk is free for courses — and it starts free for haulers, too. A pilot proves it on your own golf accounts first; after that, one flat annual fee per course served, agreed in writing, for the communication service only. You keep billing the course exactly as today. See the hauler partner page →
Want it automatic? The Desk is sensor-ready
A fill-level sensor mounts under the dumpster lid and reads the load for you — no crew check needed. When the level crosses your line, the Desk knows; when the truck lifts the container, the pickup is recorded on its own. The sensors the industry runs on (ultrasonic and camera units) fit any steel dumpster, whatever hauler owns it, with the hauler's OK.
- Crew checks work today — the Desk runs with zero hardware.
- Sensors are the upgrade — the Desk is built sensor-ready; sensor partnerships are forming now, and we will announce them here as they go live.
- Your hauler stays yours — a sensor changes nothing about your contract; it just makes the service visible.
Waste Desk questions
Who hauls our waste?
Your own waste company — always. Waste Pro, Waste Management, Republic Services, Waste Connections, or your local hauler stays your provider of record: they set the price, run the truck, and send the invoice. The Waste Desk is the record and the work order. The Desk never hauls waste and never collects payment for hauling.
Do we need a sensor to use the Waste Desk?
No. A crew member logs a fill check in seconds whenever they pass the dumpster — a quarter, half, three-quarters, or full. A fill-level sensor automates the same reading when you want it, and the Desk is built sensor-ready.
How do we know a pickup really happened?
Log the pickup when the truck lifts the container and the Desk keeps the dated record. Either way, you hold the pickup record when the hauler's invoice arrives.
What does the Waste Desk cost a golf course?
Nothing. The Waste Desk is free for golf courses — communication is never charged. Your waste service itself is billed by your own hauler, on your existing contract, exactly as today.
We run three dumpsters with two different haulers. Does the Desk handle that?
Yes — that is exactly what it is built for. Each container gets its own profile, its own hauler, its own service days, and its own card on the board. Work orders go to the hauler for that container.
Start with one walk past the dumpster
Set up your containers, tap the level you see, and the board starts working. Twenty seconds, no account, nothing to install.
