How to add proof photos to a task in the Dumpster Controls Driver App

Photos protect you and your company: where the can sat, how the site looked, what the receipt said. Each task type has its own photo slots.

## Find the "Photos" slots
After tapping "I've Arrived", the task sheet shows square photo slots. Deliveries offer "Before Delivery", "After Delivery", and "Delivery Issue"; pickups offer "Before Pickup", "After Pickup", and "Pickup Issue"; landfill runs use "Landfill Receipt" and "Landfill Issue".
## Know the required one
The slot the task needs is outlined and marked "Required": "After Delivery" for deliveries, "After Pickup" for pickups, and "Landfill Receipt" for landfill runs. Empty slots read "Tap to add photo".
## Shoot or pick
Tapping a slot offers "Take Photo" (opens the camera) or "From Library" (opens your gallery).
## Let the stamp work
Uploaded photos are automatically stamped with the date, time, location, and your company's name, turning every shot into evidence. Landfill receipts are the exception: they upload unstamped at high quality so the numbers stay legible.
## Fix mistakes
A filled slot shows a green check; tap it to change the photo ("Tap to change"), or use the trash icon to delete one. Deleting asks "Delete this photo? This cannot be undone."

What happens next

Photos attach to the order, so admins and dispatchers see them on the order record immediately.
Completed tasks keep their photos visible in a read-only gallery.

Troubleshooting

The upload failed.

The slot shows a warning badge; tap it to retry the same photo. Check your signal if it keeps failing.

Can I still complete without the photo?

Yes. The slide shows "No photo attached: slide to complete anyway". Landfill runs are stricter: the receipt info must be saved before completing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The software is free: 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. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. 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 Unlimited 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 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
