Overview
Disposal locations are the approved sites where grease haulers take collected grease for proper disposal. Disposal manifests group pump out records by date, vehicle, and disposal location to create a complete record of where grease was taken.
Both features require the vehicles feature flag to be enabled for your organization.

Disposal Location where the grease was delivered
Each manifest provides a summary of all pump outs included in that trip.

FAQ
Why don't I see Disposal Locations in my sidebar?
The vehicles feature flag must be enabled. Disposal locations and manifests require vehicle tracking to be active. Contact your SwiftComply administrator to enable it.
How are disposal manifests created?
Manifests are generated automatically when pump outs include a vehicle and disposal location. The system groups pump outs that share the same date, vehicle, and disposal location into a single manifest.
Can a disposal location accept multiple waste types?
Yes. The waste types field is a multi-select, so you can assign as many waste types as the location accepts.
Can I delete a disposal location?
Disposal locations that are linked to pump outs cannot be deleted because the pump out records reference them. You can remove the association from individual pump outs first if needed.
