How to run a landfill trip with receipt scan in the Dumpster Controls Driver App

Landfill runs capture real disposal data: the destination, the scale receipt, the net weight, and the cost. The receipt scan reads most of it for you.

Before you start

  • A landfill task on your list (usually auto-created after a full-dumpster pickup).
  1. ## Pick the destination
    The "Select Landfill Destination" card lists landfills sorted by distance from you. Until you choose one, the sheet blocks the start with "Select a landfill destination before starting this task."
  2. ## Tap "On My Way"
    The address card switches to the "Selected Landfill" with its distance, and "Open Map" navigates to it.
  3. ## Photograph the scale receipt
    At the landfill, add the "Landfill Receipt" photo. Receipts are uploaded at full quality and are not stamped, so every number stays readable.
  4. ## Tap "Submit Landfill Receipt"
    This is the arrival step for landfill runs. The "Receipt scan" card shows "Scanning receipt…" and then fills in what it found, for example "Detected NET weight: 3.52 tons. Please confirm and edit if needed."
  5. ## Confirm weight and cost
    Check "Net weight (tons)" and "Receipt Total ($)". The hint reminds you: "Net weight is the landfill's NET value on the receipt, not gross, not tare." Edit anything the scan got wrong; if it fails, it says "Could not detect the NET weight automatically. Please enter it manually."
  6. ## Slide to complete
    One slide saves the receipt info and completes the run in a single gesture. Sliding with no weight entered asks "No weight entered. Complete this landfill anyway?"

What happens next

  • The completed task shows a "Landfill Receipt" card with "Net weight", "Receipt total", and a "View receipt" link to the photo.
  • The weight and cost flow into the order's records for your company's disposal accounting.
  • Your truck is marked empty again, ready for the next delivery.

Troubleshooting

The slide is blocked.

Landfill completion needs the receipt info: the helper says "Save the receipt info before completing this landfill task." Add the receipt photo and confirm the values first.

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.
