Waste Management

Request: Waste management starts with the Request for Pick-up from within the organization. Select Requests from the Management section of the Salute landing page (For more detail on Requests, see Request section of this guide)

 

From the Request landing page, you can see the number of Open requests by request type, including Waste Requests.

From the Waste Requests landing page, you will be able to:

1. Select an individual item to see detailed information

2. Filter the list by selecting a column header (can do multiple filters) to see a select list of items

3. Create a new Waste Request

 

Once an item is selected, users can review or update certain information about that Waste Request.

1. Adjust/remove/add Waste items or Request details

2. Can assign to a staff member - once it is saved, that staff member will see notification of assignment

3. Can Create a Waste Collection

Once the request is received and reviewed and a user select Create Waste Collection, a Waste Collection is created within the Waste Management>Waste Collections module.

 

Waste Collections allows users to create or manage the collection of waste items that must be tracked for safety or regulatory purposes.

NOTE: Salute Portal users can also start a collection without a Request.
