Our HWRC Permit System hugely benefits yet another authority

OUR HWRC PERMIT SYSTEM PROVIDES EXCELLENT VALUE ONCE AGAIN

Here at Pentagull towers, we’ve been just as active lately and have yet another go-live to shout about! Staffordshire County Council have recently gone live with our HWRC Permit system with DVLA and are already reaping the rewards.

Staffordshire County Council contacted us earlier in the year to enquire about a digital permit system for their 14 HWRC sites which would only be eligible for Staffordshire residents, while also being concise and user friendly. After a few months of hard work, that’s exactly what we created! The permit application form requires the resident to include their vehicle registration, type of vehicle but also upload documentation for proof of residency (e.g. driving licence).

This permit system includes a DVLA look-up, meaning the make and colour of the vehicle can be determined from the registration entered on the form. This is extremely useful for the site staff as it provides additional information to help identify the cars that turn up on site.

Staffordshire County Council have also seen a huge benefit from the extensive reports that the permit system offers, such as a report that details the permit usage per site and another that calculates the total visits for each vehicle type, both in a specified time-period.

If you would like to speak to us about our HWRC Permit system or enquire about another system, please contact us at hello@pentagull.co.uk.

When waste rules change, Pentagulls flexible HWRC booking systems make the difference.

The current shortage of specialist treatment capacity for fridges and freezers is creating a difficult situation for councils across the UK. With processing capacity severely constrained, some councils have had to suspend collections, limit the number of cooling appliances residents can bring to HWRCs, or stop accepting them altogether. For residents, the message is simple: the rules have changed. For councils, however, changing the rules is only the beginning. They also need an effective way to communicate those changes to residents and manage what happens when people arrive at an HWRC
