      Create and Add a Waste Type to an Asset

      This article shows how to create and add waste types to an asset. You can use this information to track the collections for different waste materials and by doing this, you can report on the overall diversion rate from landfill for their collections.

      Create a Waste Type

      • Log into your Superfy Account
      • Click on the 'Hamburger' Menu located on the top left-hand side of the screen
      • Select Inventory from the listed menus.

      • On the Inventory pop-up screen, click on Others

      • Select Waste Type from the listed options

      Please note that the option may appear as Trash Type in some geographic locations.

      • A variety of waste types are automatically included in each account as part of the standard account setup. You can choose to either Add or Delete any Waste Type of your choice. 
      • Click on Add Waste Type to Add a new Waste Type. 

      Please note that the option may appear as Add Trash Type in some geographic locations. 

      • Enter the specific Waste Type in the Waste Type Name field
