Using Alternative Signature Methods

By default, agreements are sent to customers using the Waste Pricing Tool’s built-in electronic signature process. However, if you prefer, you can use your own e-signature platform or obtain a handwritten (wet) signature instead.

Option 1: Using your own e-signature software

If your business uses a third-party e-signature platform, you can still generate the agreement through the Waste Pricing Tool.

Step 1: Generate the Agreement PDF

Follow the normal process to generate the Agreement PDF.

Step 2: Upload the agreement to your e-signature platform

Upload the generated PDF to your preferred e-signature software and send it to the customer for signing.

Step 3: Save the signed documents

Once the agreement has been signed, keep copies of:

  • The signed agreement.

  • The signature audit trail or certificate (if your platform provides one).

Step 4: Upload the documents

Upload the signed agreement and any supporting signature documents to the Waste Pricing Tool as part of the sale submission process.

The Operations team will review the documents before approving the sale.

Option 2: Using a wet signature

If you’d prefer the customer to sign a physical copy of the agreement, you can do this instead.

Step 1: Generate and print the agreement

Generate the Agreement PDF as normal, then print a copy for the customer to sign.

Step 2: Obtain the customer’s signature

Ask the customer to sign the printed agreement.

Step 3: Scan the signed agreement

Once signed, scan the agreement so you have a digital copy.

Step 4: Upload the signed document

Upload the scanned agreement to the Waste Pricing Tool as a supporting document during the sale submission process.

The Operations team will review the agreement before approving the sale.
