Park the full can at the yard, hand the landfill run back to dispatch, and free your truck. ## Before you start - A landfill task that has not started yet. 1. ## Tap "Store for Later" On the landfill task, tap the "Store for Later" button. The dialog explains it: "Park this full dumpster at a storage location. The task will be returned to dispatch and the truck will be marked as empty." 2. ## Enter the "Storage Address" Type where the can will sit, for example your yard. 3. ## Label the can (optional) Fill "Dumpster Label (optional)" (for example "30YD-12") so the yard crew knows which unit it is. 4. ## Confirm Tap "Store for Later". The toast confirms "Dumpster stored for later." and the task returns to the dispatch pool. ## What happens next - Your truck is marked empty so dispatch can send you the next delivery. - When the stored run is assigned again, the task opens with a "Pick Up From" card showing the storage address and a "Pickup Full Dumpster" button. The helper reads "Confirm you are picking up the full dumpster from storage."; tapping it confirms with "Marked as Pickup Full Dumpster. Select a landfill to continue." ## Troubleshooting ### I do not see "Store for Later". The button only appears on landfill tasks that have not started, are not completed, and are not already stored. ## Related guides - [How to store a full dumpster for later in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/dispatch/store-a-full-dumpster-for-later) - [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) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.
