Express Pool
Items that came in via Express orders and haven’t been sorted yet. Waiting for you to use Update Inventory to classify them.
Loose Items
You know the material type (plastics, cans, glass) but haven’t assigned a distributor yet. Broken down by material type.
Ready Items
Fully sorted — material type and distributor known. Organized per distributor and ready for the next offload.
Non-Deposit Items
Containers with no deposit value. Tracked separately as they earn scrap value only, not a deposit payout.
