Choosing the landfill on the order plots the stop on the map and locks in the route. ## Before you start - The order has a landfill task (real or the auto-created preview) on a driver's route. 1. ## Open the driver's route Click "View route" on the lane of the driver who will run the landfill. 2. ## Find the landfill stop In the route list, the landfill stop shows a "Set landfill" link (or "Change landfill" if one is already chosen). 3. ## Pick the landfill The "Landfill destination" dialog opens with your active landfills. Pick one and save. ## What happens next - The landfill stop gets a real pin on the map and the route redraws through it, with the brown landfill leg. - The choice is saved on the order, so the driver's app points at the same destination. - Nearby landfills are also plotted on the route map as reference markers you can click for their address. ## Troubleshooting ### The "Set landfill" link is missing. It only appears on landfill stops tied to an order. Special stops created by hand carry their own fixed address instead. ## Related guides - [How to view a driver's route on the map in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/dispatch/view-a-drivers-route-on-the-map) - [How to store a full dumpster for later in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/dispatch/store-a-full-dumpster-for-later) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.
