The helper reads: "Upload the pickup photo to complete this task." 2. ## Photograph the can Fill the required "After Pickup" photo slot (with "Before Pickup" and "Pickup Issue" available when needed). 3. ## Slide to complete Drag "Slide to complete" to the right. Confetti fires and the toast confirms the result. 4. ## Continue into the landfill run When the pickup leaves a full dumpster on your truck, the toast says "Pickup completed. Landfill task prepared." and the new landfill task opens automatically so you can pick a destination and keep moving. ## What happens next - The "Landfill (Next)" preview card under the pickup becomes the real landfill task. - Dispatch sees the truck as loaded with a full can until the landfill run (or a storage drop) completes. ## Troubleshooting ### The toast said the landfill task is ready but I do not see it. The app shows "Pickup completed. Landfill task is ready. Please refresh if you do not see it." Pull the task list down to refresh. ## Related guides - [How to run a landfill trip with receipt scan in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/run-a-landfill-trip-with-receipt-scan) - [How to store a full dumpster for later in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/store-a-full-dumpster-for-later) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.
