RecycleOne Accounting Module

Complete Financial Management for California CRV Recycling Operations — Full Feature Guide

 Why RecycleOne Accounting?

Most recycling operators run their business on one system and their books on another. Every month, someone has to bridge the gap — exporting data, re-keying numbers into QuickBooks or a spreadsheet, and hoping nothing gets lost in translation. The RecycleOne Accounting Module eliminates that gap entirely.

It lives inside your existing RecycleOne system, reads directly from your transaction data, and gives you a complete double-entry general ledger purpose-built for California CRV recycling. No duplicate data entry. No month-end scrambles. No wondering whether your books match your buyback window.

Live General Ledger — Every Transaction, Automatically

When a customer places materials on the scale at your buyback window, RecycleOne processes the transaction on the tablet and automatically generates a balanced journal entry in real time. The system debits CRV Material Purchases (5000-series) by grade and credits Cash Drawer (1010) or Customer Deposits based on your pay window configuration. By the time the customer walks away, your books already reflect the transaction — always current, never days behind.

 How the Numbers Flow

Every dollar that moves through your operation follows a clear path from the buyback window to your financial statements:

1. Customer brings materials to your window. RecycleOne records the transaction on the tablet: material type, weight, CRV rate, and amount paid. A journal entry is created instantly — debit CRV Material Purchases (5000-series by grade), credit Cash Drawer (1010). Zero manual entry required.
2. Materials are shipped to a processor. The DR-6 shipment is recorded in the CRV Reimbursement Tracker with shipped weight and CRV owed by the state. Shrinkage between shipped and received weight is tracked automatically.
3. State sends a reimbursement warrant. Record the payment in the CRV Tracker: CRV reimbursement (4000), handling fee (4020), admin fee (4030). The system debits your bank and credits each revenue account.
4. Processor sends a check for commodity value. Record the processor payment with scrap value and shrinkage. The system debits your bank and credits the grade-specific Shipping Revenue account.
5. Monthly CZ payment arrives from CalRecycle. The Convenience Zone module auto-calculates your expected fee from the DR14 container count using the 10% glass/plastic threshold. Enter the actual amount and it posts to CZ Revenue (4040).
6. You pay bills and expenses. Enter vendor bills through Accounts Payable, write checks against open bills or as standalone payments. Each transaction posts a balanced journal entry automatically.
7. Run payroll. The system reads hours from your tablet timeclocks across all locations, calculates federal and California withholding, and posts a fully detailed payroll journal entry splitting wages, employer taxes, and tax liabilities into proper sub-accounts (2151–2158).
8. Review and plan. Run your Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and AR Aging at any time. Compare actuals against your budget. Identify which material grades and which locations are most profitable.
9. Close the year. Year-End Close zeros out all revenue and expense accounts, transfers net income to Retained Earnings (3200), and hard-locks the period. Everything your accountant or tax preparer needs is already in the system.

 Complete Module Reference

 Daily Operations

Cash Drawer Management

View cash drawer balance uploaded from tablet, track expected vs. actual cash based on tablet transaction totals, and post variances to the GL automatically. Structured end-of-day workflow guides staff through counting, reconciling, and recording the deposit.

Transaction Review

Browse every CRV transaction processed through RecycleOne. Filter by date, material, operator, or payment method. Click any transaction to see the exact GL journal entry it generated, including which accounts were debited and credited.

 Revenue Tracking

CRV Reimbursement Tracker

Track every DR-6 load with shipped weight, CRV owed, and payment status. Record state and processor payments individually or in batch. Automatic shrinkage calculation between shipped and received weight. Posts to GL accounts 4000, 4020, and 4030 with a single entry.

Shipping & Scrap Revenue

Record processor payments by material grade with auto-mapped GL accounts. Track revenue per material type with price-per-pound analysis. Supports multiple bank accounts — deposit to whichever account the check was received in.

Convenience Zone Revenue

Auto-calculates expected CZ fee from your DR14 container counts using the 10% glass/plastic threshold rule. Record the actual CalRecycle payment and post to GL 4040. Tracks variance between expected and received CZ payments.

Other Income

Catch-all for non-standard revenue: e-waste fees, commercial processing, cardboard and paper sales, equipment sold, miscellaneous income. Each category maps to its own GL account for clean P&L reporting.

AR Invoicing

Full accounts receivable with customer management, invoice creation and delivery (email/print), payment recording, and credit memos. Supports partial payments, overpayment credits, and bad debt write-offs. Invoice status flows from draft through sent, partial, paid, and overdue automatically.

AR Aging Report

Snapshot of all outstanding receivables bucketed by age: Current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90, and 91+ days past due. Click any bucket to filter to those customers. Drill into individual invoices per customer. Export to CSV or print. Fully as-of-date — run it for any historical date.

 Expenses & Accounts Payable

AP Bill Entry & Payment

Full accounts payable workflow: enter vendor bills, track due dates and payment terms, approve and pay. Supports direct payments and bill-against-payment matching. Recurring bills (weekly through annual) auto-generate on schedule so you never miss a utility or lease payment.

Check Writing & Printing

Write and print checks on standard check stock. Sequential check numbering per bank account, complete check register, and void/reissue workflow. Pay against open AP bills or write standalone checks for one-off expenses.

W-9 & 1099-NEC Management

Vendor management with encrypted TIN storage, W-9 collection status, and automatic 1099-NEC eligibility detection based on annual payment totals. Backup withholding at 24% for non-compliant vendors, automatically calculated and posted to GL 2250. Year-end 1099 summary export ready for filing.

Expense Analytics

Spending trends over time, top vendor rankings, category breakdowns, and cost-growth alerts. See when a specific expense category is growing faster than revenue — before it becomes a problem.

 Payroll

Timeclock Integration

Hours flow directly from your RecycleOne tablet timeclocks — no re-entry. Supports multiple locations with one payroll run covering all sites. Employees clock in and out on the same tablets they use for buyback transactions.

Tax Calculation

Federal and California withholding calculated automatically using current tax tables: federal income tax (2024 tables), Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), California SDI, and SIT. Employer-side taxes (FUTA, SUTA, ER Social Security, ER Medicare) calculated and posted separately.

Granular GL Posting

Payroll journal entries post to detailed sub-accounts: Wages & Salaries (6170), Vacation Pay (6171), Employer Taxes (6180), Benefits (6190), and tax withholding liabilities split across GL 2151–2158 (federal income, SS employee, SS employer, Medicare employee, Medicare employer, CA SIT, SDI, FUTA/SUTA). Every liability account is tracked separately for tax deposit management.

Tax Liabilities Dashboard

At-a-glance view of all outstanding payroll tax liabilities with deposit tracking. See exactly what you owe to the IRS and EDD by account, and record deposits as you make them. Prevents missed deposit deadlines.

Vacation Accrual

Configurable vacation policy: accrual rate per hour worked, annual cap, waiting period for new employees. Vacation balance tracked per employee. Vacation pay posts to GL 6171 separately from regular wages, and accrued vacation liability posts to GL 2159.

Payroll Forms Foundation

Payroll data is structured and stored to support IRS Form 941, California DE 9 / DE 9C, and W-2 generation. The data model is form-ready — quarterly and annual tax reporting pulls directly from posted payroll records.

 Fixed Assets

Asset Register

Track all capital assets: equipment, vehicles, leasehold improvements. Each asset record holds purchase date, cost, useful life, salvage value, asset category (GL 1500/1600/1700-series), and current book value. Supports straight-line and declining balance depreciation methods.

Depreciation Scheduling

Auto-generates the full depreciation schedule for each asset through its useful life. Post monthly depreciation with one click — debits Depreciation Expense (6140) and credits the appropriate Accumulated Depreciation account (1510, 1610, or 1710). Partial-year calculations handled automatically.

Asset Disposal

Record asset sales or retirements. Calculates gain or loss based on book value at disposal date. Automatically posts to Gain on Sale (7200) or Loss on Sale (7300) and removes the asset and its accumulated depreciation from the balance sheet in one entry.

Depreciation Reports

Print the full depreciation schedule for any asset or the entire asset register. Export to CSV for your tax preparer or insurance carrier. Book value summary feeds directly into the Balance Sheet.

 Financial Reports

Income Statement (P&L)

Revenue minus COGS minus expenses, grouped by account type. Includes % of Revenue column for every line. Period comparison mode shows prior period or prior year side-by-side with dollar change and direction arrows. Export to CSV, print with company header.

Balance Sheet

Assets, liabilities, and equity with sub-categorization: current assets, fixed assets, current liabilities, long-term liabilities, and equity. Retained Earnings reflects all closed fiscal years automatically. A = L + E verified on every run.

Cash Flow Statement

Indirect method: starts with Net Income and adjusts for non-cash items (depreciation) and working capital changes (AR, AP, sales tax payable). Investing activities show fixed asset purchases and disposals. Ending cash balance ties directly to GL cash accounts — always reconciled. Per-account cash flow classification is set in the Chart of Accounts.

AR Aging Report

Outstanding receivables bucketed by age as of any date. Summary cards show totals by bucket with click-to-filter. Customer drill-down shows individual invoice detail. Color-coded by severity. Export CSV or print.

Material-Level P&L

Profitability broken down by material grade: aluminum, PET, glass, bi-metal, and more. Shows what you paid per pound vs. what the state reimburses vs. what processors pay. Identifies which materials make money and which are break-even or loss leaders. The supplement (above-CRV) column shows the competitive premium you're paying by grade.

Budgeting & Budget vs Actual

Create annual budgets with monthly targets for every P&L account in a spreadsheet-style grid. Seed from prior year actuals with one click. The Budget vs Actual report compares budgeted amounts to real GL activity for any month range, with variance $ and % columns. Color-coded: green = favorable, red = unfavorable, based on account type (over-revenue is good; over-expense is bad).

 General Ledger & Tools

Chart of Accounts

Pre-loaded with 60+ accounts designed for CRV recycling operations: cash accounts (1000-series), AR, fixed assets with accumulated depreciation, AP, payroll liabilities (2151–2158), revenue by source (4000-series), COGS by material grade (5000-series), and expenses. Plain-language tooltips explain every account in recycling terms. Add custom accounts or deactivate unused ones.

Journal Entry

Manual journal entry with account search, debit/credit columns, and balance enforcement — the entry cannot be posted unless debits equal credits. Every automated posting from every module flows through the same validated journal entry system. Void any entry with one click; the system creates an automatic reversing entry and marks both void.

Recurring Journal Entries

Schedule any journal entry to recur automatically: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Set an end date or let it run indefinitely. Recurring entries post automatically on schedule and appear in the GL like any other journal entry. Use for rent, loan payments, insurance, or any predictable recurring transaction.

Bank Reconciliation

Match your bank statement to the GL account by account. Mark transactions as cleared, track outstanding checks and deposits in transit. Running reconciled balance and unreconciled difference update in real time as you work. Post adjusting entries for bank fees or interest from within the reconciliation. Undo the last reconciliation if corrections are needed.

Audit Trail

Complete, tamper-evident log of every financial action: journal entries posted and voided, payments recorded, bills created, payroll runs, year-end closes, and user logins. Filter by user, date, action type, or module. Cannot be edited or deleted. Satisfies both internal control requirements and external audit requests.

Year-End Close

Close any fiscal year with one click. Preview the closing journal entry before posting — see exactly which accounts will be zeroed and what transfers to Retained Earnings (3200). After posting, the period is hard-locked: no transaction in any module can be posted to a closed period. Undo the most recent close if corrections are needed before the books are finalized.

 Setup & Configuration

Guided Setup Wizard

Step-by-step onboarding walks you through every required configuration before entering a transaction: fiscal year start month, chart of accounts review, bank account setup, opening balance entry, and user preferences. Progress is saved — come back and pick up where you left off. Each step is marked complete as you finish it.

Multi-Bank Account Support

Add unlimited bank accounts (checking, savings, money market). Each account has its own GL account number in the 1000-series. Revenue entries, AP payments, and payroll can each be directed to any bank account. Bank reconciliation runs independently per account.

Period Locking

Closed fiscal years are hard-locked system-wide. No bill, payment, check, revenue entry, payroll run, or journal entry can be posted to a closed period from any module. Prevents accidental modification of finalized books without requiring separate permissions management.

Accounting Preferences

Configure fiscal year start month (any month), default tax rates, payroll settings (vacation policy, accrual rate, waiting period, cap), and module-level defaults. Settings apply across all users at the location.

 What Makes This Different

Live from the Tablet

Every CRV transaction at the buyback window posts a GL entry automatically. Your books are current in real time — not hours or days behind.

Built for CRV

DR-6 shipments, state warrants, convenience zones, material-level P&L, grade-specific COGS. Not generic accounting with recycling bolted on.

Zero Duplicate Entry

No exporting to QuickBooks. No re-keying numbers. The accounting module reads the same database your operations team uses every day.

Multi-Location Ready

Each location has independent books. Consolidated reports combine data across all locations. Process payroll from one location covering all sites.

Plain-Language Help

Every account and every module has tooltips and guidance written for recycling operators — not CPAs. Your staff can use it without accounting training.

Audit-Ready

Tamper-evident audit trail, period locking, double-entry enforcement, and encrypted TIN storage. Built to satisfy both internal controls and external review.

 Getting Started

The accounting module is available as a free 3-month trial to all RecycleOne customers. During the trial, every feature is fully functional with no restrictions. No credit card required to start.

To activate: click Start Free Trial on the Accounting Dashboard, then run the Guided Setup Wizard to configure your chart of accounts, bank accounts, and fiscal year. Daily transactions from your tablets are already flowing in — by the time you finish setup, you may already have journal entries waiting.

After the trial, plans start at $79/month for single-location operations and scale with your footprint. All features are included at every plan level.
