    👋 PRO WASTE Layout Generator v1.0

    Design accurate, council-ready bin room layouts in minutes — with auto-placement, DXF export, and manufacturer-accurate bin geometry.

    1
    Set up your room In the ① Page & Waste Room Setup tab — upload a floor plan or DXF to auto-scale, type in dimensions directly, or pick a template. Draw one or more Waste Rooms on the canvas to define bin areas.
    2
    Add obstacles, aisles & equipment Use ② Obstacles & Aisles to mark columns, walls, door swings, and clearance aisles. Add compactors, balers, trolleys and more from the ④ Equipment tab — all with accurate footprints.
    3
    Configure chutes & receivers Got a chute system? Set up openings and stream assignments in ③ Chutes & Receivers. The tool auto-places 240L, 660L, 1100L, 2×1100L Index, or 4×1100L Carousel receivers.
    4
    Generate & fine-tune your layout Enter bin counts in ⑤ Bin Counts and hit ⚡ Place Bins — the auto-layout groups streams together and avoids aisles. Drag bins to fine-tune, draw waste disposal and transfer routes, then export a professional PDF or CAD-ready DXF.
