How to store a full dumpster for later in Dumpster Controls

When the landfill is closed or the day ran out, park the full dumpster at your yard and schedule the landfill run for another day without losing track of it.

Before you start

  1. Open the landfill task

    Click the landfill card to open its details. Under "Task Actions", click "Store Full Dumpster".

  2. Enter the storage address

    In the "Store Full Dumpster for Later" dialog, type the "Storage Address" with autocomplete, or click "Use HQ Address" to fill in your headquarters.

  3. Optionally label the can

    Fill "Dumpster Label" (for example "20YD-005") so the yard crew knows which unit it is.

  4. Confirm

    Click "Confirm Store". A toast confirms "Stored for later".

What happens next

Troubleshooting

The "Store Full Dumpster" button is missing.

It only appears on landfill tasks, and the drawer notes "Store unavailable while task is in progress, completed, or canceled."

I get "HQ address not configured. Please set it in Company Settings."

"Use HQ Address" needs your company address on file. Set it in company settings or type the address manually.
