Keep every cart
accounted for.
Cart-Flow helps waste companies and municipalities manage cart inventory, deliveries, exchanges, repairs and recoveries from one simple platform.
If you don't know where your carts are, you're buying them twice
Carts walk off
Customers move, carts stay behind, and nobody recovers them. Every unrecovered cart is real money sitting in someone's back yard.
The list lives on paper
Requests get written on a sticky note, handed to a driver, and never make it back to the office. Nobody can answer “was it delivered?”
No proof, no defense
When a city or a customer disputes a delivery, you need a date, an address, a cart number and a photo — not a memory.
One platform, seven jobs
All featuresCart inventory
Every cart by number, size, type, condition and address. Know what's on the ground, what's in the yard and what's owed back.
Deliveries
Take the request in the office, and it's on a driver's route the same minute — with the address, the cart type and the date it was promised.
Exchanges
Swap a 65 for a 95, trash for recycle. The cart that leaves and the cart that arrives are both recorded against the address.
Repairs
A driver flags a broken lid or wheel from the cab in a few taps. It lands on the repair list instead of getting forgotten.
Recoveries
Cancelled service builds a pull list automatically, so carts come home instead of quietly becoming someone else's.
Reporting
What was delivered, when, by whom, and what's still outstanding — the report a city asks for, without a night of spreadsheet work.
City portal
Cities on your municipal and government contracts get their own portal to request replacements, repairs and additional containers — straight into your working list instead of a phone call someone has to take.
The driver app is the whole point
If the driver won't use it, the data is wrong by Tuesday. So the driver app installs on any phone, works with no signal, syncs when it finds one, and is built for a gloved hand in a moving truck.
- Today's stops, sorted, with the cart type on each
- Road or satellite map view for hard-to-find addresses
- Broken-cart report with scan, photo and location — warranty evidence in one pass
- Nothing to install from an app store
Cities get their own portal
A city on your contract signs in with its own account and sees only its own requests. What they submit lands straight in your office working list — no phone tag, no forwarded emails.
- Carts on every contract; dumpsters where commercial service is included
- They watch each request move — submitted, in progress, completed
- Every request tracked and reportable under the contract
The special that's easy to miss, made impossible to miss
A driver runs anywhere from 150 to 1,000 stops in a day. A special pickup buried in one customer's record on a routing tablet gets missed — then the customer calls, and you roll a truck twice. Weekly Specials pulls just the specials out of the noise: the whole week on one list, grouped by day and driver.
- On the driver's phone — their own day, color-coded by driver
- Or hit Print Day Sheet — one page for the wall, no extra tablets, nothing per-truck to buy
- Scheduled once in the office; mid-week changes reach the app the same minute

Built inside a hauling company, not a software office
Cart-Flow comes out of a family waste business with 48 years on the route. It was written to solve our own cart problem first — the same problem you have.
That's why it doesn't ask you to change how you run. It carries your name and colors, your cart types, your service area, and it stays out of the way.
See it on your own cart list
Twenty minutes, screen shared, no slide deck. Bring a handful of real addresses and we'll run them through it.
