Getting Started as a Waste Company

Dsposal's Compliance Dashboard is an online platform that allows anyone in England to find a licensed waste company and check their duty of care documents quickly and easily. Are you a licensed waste company? Do you want to improve your presence online? Yes? Then we're here to help you become the right place for your future customers' waste.

In this article, you'll learn how to claim your licence on the Compliance Dashboard, add site information, documents and services to your profile.

Before You Start?

Before you jump into the tasks ahead, here are a few helpful things to know.

• Dsposal is a web-based application that works in most web browsers, which means you don't need to download or install any software on your computer. To be sure Dsposal works properly your web browser needs to meet our requirements.
• While you can use the Compliance Dashboard for free you have to register for an account to create an organisation.

Why should I register on the Compliance Dashboard?

Registering your organisation on the Compliance Dashboard helps you and your customers stay compliant effortlessly.

By registering an organisation and then creating sites, you will showcase your business on different directories including Your Dsposal and the MRW Directory which in turn drives visitors to your business and website. You can upload your licences, insurances and certificates. And then you and your clients will receive notifications of when these documents are coming up for renewal.

To learn how to register your organisation, create your site (or sites), and make the listing as strong as possible, read on.
