How to suggest a landfill for the driver in Dumpster Controls

The "Suggested Landfill" picker pre-selects a disposal site in the driver's app, so the driver does not have to choose one on the road.

  1. ## Find the picker
    Open a pickup or landfill order drawer. Below driver assignment sits the "Suggested Landfill" block with the hint that it pre-selects this landfill for the driver.
  2. ## Search and choose
    Type in "Search landfills..." to filter by name, city, or address. Each row shows the address and distance in miles; company-added sites carry a "Private" badge. Click a landfill to select it.
  3. ## Manage favorites
    The star icon marks a landfill as favorite ("Mark as favorite" / "Remove from favorites") so your usual sites float to the top. "Show more" reveals the rest of the list.
  4. ## Add a missing site
    Click "Add" to open the new-landfill dialog and register a site that is not in the list; it is selected automatically once created.
  5. ## Save
    Click "Save suggestion". A toast confirms "Suggested landfill saved". Use "Change" to swap it later or the clear button ("Clear suggestion") to remove it.

What happens next

  • The driver app pre-selects this site on the landfill stage of the run; the driver can still override it on the road.

Troubleshooting

The list says "No active landfills for this state".

No landfills are registered as active for your company's state yet. Use "Add" to create your first one.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The entire app is free for any company at any fleet size: 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. The entire app is free; an optional $169 per month plan lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30 and adds a Sponsored spotlight in the public company directory. 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 $169 lower card rate 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.
