Yards are the places your business runs itself. There are two kinds, and a firm can have both.
The two kinds of yard
A yard for vehicles and containers. Somewhere you keep vehicles and store empty skips and containers. No waste is taken in here, so it asks for no permit and is never offered as a place to tip.
One of your receiving sites. A site you take waste in at, under a permit or exemption. It is the same record as the receiving site marked "This is us", so it is never entered twice. Any receiving site you have marked "This is us" already shows on the Yards page.
What each yard shows
Each yard card shows the containers standing there, how many are free to go out, the waste on the ground if it takes waste in, and the vehicles based there.
Basing a vehicle at a yard
Drag a number plate onto a yard, or click the plate and pick a yard. A vehicle's yard is where its day starts and finishes on the route planner.
If a vehicle has no yard, or a container is not on one, a "Not based at a yard" panel appears on the right of the page. It only shows when something needs placing. Drag a plate back onto it to take a vehicle off its yard.
Adding a yard
Click Add yard, give it a name and address, then choose whether it is one of your receiving sites or only a yard for vehicles and containers. If it takes waste in, add the permit or exemption number that covers it.
