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

When nothing is stored, the section celebrates with "All clear!" and "No full dumpsters are currently stored. All pickups went directly to the landfill."
Storing itself happens from the landfill order drawer ("Store Full Dumpster for Later") or from the Dispatch board; both feed this same section.

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

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