What you need
The short answers to what carriers ask us most.
- Your waste carrier registration
- CWR Micro does the paperwork, but it doesn't register you. Your business still needs its own registration: in England on GOV.UK, in Wales with Natural Resources Wales, in Scotland with SEPA and in Northern Ireland with DAERA.
- A phone for each person
- An iPhone or an Android phone with the CWR Micro app. The office website works in any up-to-date web browser.
- Texts to customers
- Your team shares one monthly total. When they're used up, messages go by email if the customer has an email address.
- Xero and QuickBooks Online
- You download your invoices and customers as files and import them yourself. How to import: Xero's guide, QuickBooks' guide.
- Paying for your plan
- Paid on cwrmicro.co.uk? Change or cancel it on the office website, in Settings, Plan. Paid in the App Store or Google Play? Change or cancel it there: Apple, Google Play.
Questions about plans
Can I switch plans?
Yes. Move up to Pro straight away. To move down, card plans change straight away; store plans change at renewal.
Do I save by paying yearly?
Yes. On cwrmicro.co.uk a yearly plan costs the same as 10 monthly payments.
What happens when my free trial ends?
Choose a paid plan to keep using CWR Micro. No card is needed to start the trial, so you won't be charged automatically when it ends.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel any time and keep access until the end of your paid period.
What does fair use on texts mean?
Texts are for your day-to-day customer messages about jobs and paperwork. Essentials includes 100 texts per person, you included, each month. Pro includes 200. Fair use does not mean unlimited texts.
Are waste notes really unlimited?
Yes. Both plans include unlimited waste transfer notes, hazardous waste consignment notes and season tickets. Invoices are unlimited too.
Digital waste tracking
Get ahead of the planned deadline
Digital waste tracking is planned to become law for waste carriers from October 2027. CWR Micro keeps every note digital now, and we plan to connect CWR Micro when the service is available to us.
Digital waste tracking isn't switched on in CWR Micro yet. The dates are Defra's plans and may change. Read Defra's plan on GOV.UK · Our digital waste tracking guide
For waste sites
Run a waste site?
Since 1 October 2026, permitted or licensed sites in England and Wales that receive controlled waste have had to report it to Defra's digital waste tracking service, with some exceptions such as household recycling centres. Sites in Scotland and Northern Ireland follow from 1 January 2027.
Clear Waste Route (CWR), our separate software for receiving sites, is listed on GOV.UK as software for reporting waste receipts. It works on its own, with or without CWR Micro.
Software providers on GOV.UK's list certify their own software. Who must report, on GOV.UK · See the software list on GOV.UK
