How to read your task list in the Dumpster Controls Driver App

"My Tasks" shows your stops for one day, in run order. Every card is built to be read at a glance from the cab.

  1. ## Pick the day
    The date strip at the top scrolls week by week with the arrows. Today is selected by default; tap any other day to see its work.
  2. ## Scan the summary
    Cards count your pending "Deliveries", "Pickups", and "Landfill" stops, and a line shows your progress as completed out of total tasks.
  3. ## Read a task card
    Each card shows its stop number, the task type (delivery, pickup, or landfill) with a colored edge, the dumpster size, the date and time window, the street address, and any notes from dispatch. A red "LATE" chip appears when the task date has passed.
  4. ## See the customer
    Cards with an order show the customer's name, debris type, and phone, with round call and text buttons that dial or message the customer directly.
  5. ## Spot the landfill preview
    A dimmed "Landfill (Next)" card marked "Auto-created after Pickup" sits under pickups of full dumpsters. It becomes a real task when the pickup completes.
  6. ## Refresh with a pull
    Pull the list down to refresh it. The list also updates live when dispatch assigns or changes your work.

What happens next

  • Completed tasks stay in the list with a green check and a "Completed" chip, so you can review the day.
  • Looking at a past day shows a "Completed Tasks" card with your completion percentage for that date.

Troubleshooting

The list says "No tasks assigned for this date."

Nothing is assigned to you for the selected day. Check the date strip; your work may be on another date.

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.
