PODFY QR Reporting · Municipal & public space
A full container?
Residents tell you, per location.
Underground and street containers are emptied on a schedule, while residents see the problem: a full container, a stuck flap or rubbish dumped next to it. A QR code on each container gives them a direct way to report it, with the location already known.
Residents see it every day. Your planners do not.
Municipalities and waste collectors manage thousands of containers. Reports arrive through general apps and phone lines, often with an approximate address, and need manual work before a crew can act.
PODFY QR Reporting gives every container its own QR code. Residents scan it, choose the problem and can add a photo. The report arrives with the exact container, ready for your planners or your public space system.
Collection planning and enforcement stay with your own systems and teams.

FAQ
Questions about waste containers
Do residents need to download the municipality app?
No. They scan the code with their phone camera and the form opens in the browser.
Can reports go into our public space system?
Yes. Reports can be sent to your system with a webhook, and e-mailed to the teams you choose.
How do we add our machines or assets?
Download the asset template, fill in your asset numbers, names and locations, and upload it. Every asset number becomes the reference on its own QR code.
Where is report data stored?
Reports and photos are stored in the EU on the same platform as PODFY's delivery records. E-mail delivery uses the subprocessors listed on the Trust page.
