Practical Guide
This article is written for NSW tyre shops, workshops, dealers, warehouses, and fleet depots that want cleaner operations, easier pickups, and stronger compliance routines.
Why chain-of-custody matters
Chain-of-custody is simply proof that tyres moved through a controlled collection pathway, not unmanaged storage or unclear handling.
For commercial sites, good records reduce audit stress, clarify responsibility, and support better internal control.
What to track (keep it simple)
- Pickup date and window (scheduled vs urgent).
- Site name + pickup zone reference (where tyres were staged).
- Estimated volume (count or approximate load size).
- Collection partner name and reference/receipt details (where provided).
- Internal owner (who booked and confirmed pickup).
How to make records painless
Most documentation problems come from “too many people, too many places.” Fix it by naming one owner and one routine.
The easiest workflow: weekly checkpoint → threshold reached → pickup booked → confirmation recorded → record stored in one folder/system.
A simple record template (what good looks like)
You do not need a complex compliance platform to start. A shared spreadsheet or internal system with the same fields every time is enough for many sites.
Use one row per pickup: date, site/depot, approximate volume, pickup owner, collection reference, and notes (for example: access issue, urgent booking, or mixed waste cleanup required before collection).
Next step
If your records feel messy, stabilise your pickup schedule first — documentation becomes much easier after that.
