Billing software for waste haulers
Billing software for waste haulers that captures the work you already did
Waste haulers do not lose money only on price. They lose money when extra pickups, blocked access, rental days, disposal, contamination, service changes, and route exceptions never make it to the invoice. TrashLab connects dispatch, driver proof, customer accounts, payments, and accounting so haulers can bill faster, defend charges, and reduce manual QuickBooks cleanup.
Operating pain
Billing cannot be an after-the-fact investigation
If billing starts after routes are done, the office has to reconstruct what happened from dispatch notes, driver memory, paper tickets, and customer complaints. That is why haulers miss charges, invoice late, and spend too much time defending bills. Billing should start the moment work is scheduled and update as the field completes service.
Recurring billing changes do not make it into the next cycle.
Extra pickups, rental days, overages, and disposal fees are missed or entered late.
Proof of service is not attached to invoice lines, making disputes harder.
Accounting re-enters customer and invoice data from operations into QuickBooks.
AR aging grows because statements, reminders, and payment links are manual.
Owners cannot see missed charges by route, driver, account, or container.
