How do contractors and builders document scrap metal on a project?
Short answer: Record the scrap from each project separately with the weight, material, buyer and date, keep the dockets with the project file and provide a simple summary to the client or the project manager when they ask, because many projects now include waste reporting requirements and being able to supply a clear figure with evidence avoids last-minute scrambling.

List Free →Keep a record per project
Tagging each sale to a project makes it easy to report the figures for that job alone.
Store the dockets with the project
A project file that contains the dockets is easier to hand over than documents spread across several systems.
Provide a summary
A one-page summary of material, weight and recycler, backed by the dockets, usually satisfies a client’s request.
