How to open a task and read the details in the Dumpster Controls Driver App

Tapping any card opens the task sheet, a full-screen panel where you see everything about the stop and take every action.

  1. ## Check the header
    The sheet header shows the stop number, the task type, and a status chip: pending, assigned, in progress, "Arrived", or "Completed". Swap tasks add a "Swap" badge.
  2. ## Read the destination card
    The address card shows the street address (tap to copy), the date and time window, and an "Open Map" button that opens the destination in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.
  3. ## Preview the site
    The "Site view" card shows a satellite photo of the job site so you can plan the approach before arriving. Tap "Expand" to enlarge it.
  4. ## Review customer and notes
    The "Customer" card has "Call" and "Text" buttons, and a "Notes" card shows instructions from dispatch when they exist.
  5. ## Expand "More details"
    The "More details" section opens the "Order Details" card: "Order #", "Dumpster", "Debris", "Delivery" and "Pickup" dates, "Rental days", and "Placement notes". A "Timeline" lists "Started", "Arrived", and "Completed" timestamps.

What happens next

  • The action buttons for the stop ("On My Way", "I've Arrived", "Slide to complete") live pinned at the bottom of the sheet; they change with the task's status.
  • Completed tasks open in a read-only view showing "Task Completed", the completion time, and the photos taken.

Troubleshooting

There are no action buttons on the task.

Completed tasks are read-only. Active tasks always show the next action for their status at the bottom of the sheet.

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.
