1. A method of creating record data for an authorising body, comprising:
- receiving data from a telemetry system attached to a waste disposal container transportation vehicle,wherein said telemetry system comprises at least one reading device adapted to read an identifier located on a waste disposal container transported by the vehicle,wherein said data includes;
i) vehicle identification data identifying the vehicle,ii) first location data identifying a location of the vehicle, andiii) loading data and unloading data identifying when a waste disposal container is loaded onto the vehicle and unloaded from the vehicle respectively, wherein said loading data is produced when said reading device and an identifier located on said waste disposal container come into range of each other, and said unloading data is produced when said reading device and an identifier located on said waste disposal container come out of range of each other;
wherein said method further includes processing said data to determine locations where waste disposal containers have been loaded and unloaded from vehicles.

Abstract
A method of and apparatus for creating record data for an authorizing body of, for example, skips and other waste containers is disclosed. Such a system includes receiving data from a telemetry system attached to a skip lorry. This data includes, vehicle identification data, location data identifying a location of the vehicle and loading/unloading data identifying when an object is loaded onto and/or unloaded from the vehicle. This data is then processed to determine locations where waste containers have been loaded and unloaded from vehicles and compare this to a permit booking system to ensure compliance with the booking system.
