How to run landfill day from the Landfill tab in Dumpster Controls

The Landfill tab has two sections: full cans heading to disposal now, and full cans parked at a yard waiting for their run.

  1. Review "Landfill Runs"

    The first section ("Drivers currently en route to the landfill or orders pending landfill disposal") lists every order in the landfill stage with an order count pill and a search box. Columns are "Order ID", "Size", "Address", "Customer", "Amount", "Date", and "Driver".

  2. Assign drivers to runs

    Rows without a driver show an "Assign Driver" button that opens the drawer; assigning sends the driver a "Landfill Trip Assigned" notification.

  3. Review "Stored Full Dumpsters"

    The second section ("Full dumpsters stored by drivers awaiting landfill disposal") lists parked cans with their "Storage Address" (labeled "Stored location"), the unit label, and a "Stored" column showing how long ago.

  4. Dispatch a stored can

    Pick a driver in the row's "Assign Driver" dropdown. This creates a landfill task pointed at the storage address and notifies the driver with "Landfill Pickup Assigned". A toast confirms "Driver assigned".

What happens next

Troubleshooting

The "Store Full Dumpster for Later" button complains "No active landfill task found".

"Create a landfill task first by assigning a driver." Storage rides on the landfill task, so assign the run before storing.

I get "Store unavailable".

"Cannot store while task is in progress or canceled." Wait for the driver to finish or coordinate with them first.
