How to edit or delete a special stop in Dumpster Controls
Special stops you created can be corrected or removed from the task details drawer.
Before you start
- An admin, supervisor, or dispatcher role.
- The stop is not in route or completed.
- ## Open the stop
Click the special stop's card. In the drawer, find the "Special Stop" section. - ## Edit it
Click "Edit" to open the "Edit Special Stop" form with the current title, address, times, priority, notes, and driver. Change what you need and click "Save". A toast confirms "Special stop updated". - ## Or delete it, twice
Click "Delete", then confirm through the two-step guard: the button changes to "Are you sure?" and then to "Yes, delete permanently". A toast confirms "Special stop deleted".
What happens next
- Deleted stops leave the board and every driver's route immediately.
Troubleshooting
I do not see the "Special Stop" section.
It only appears on special stops (violet "SPECIAL" cards) for allowed roles, and it hides while the stop is in route or completed.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dumpster Controls really free?
Yes. The entire app is free for any company at any fleet size: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. The entire app is free; an optional $169 per month plan lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30 and adds a Sponsored spotlight in the public company directory. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.
Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?
No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.
Is there a contract?
No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional $169 lower card rate plan is billed month to month.
Which countries and languages are supported?
Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.
How do I switch from another dumpster software?
Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-23, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
