How to add a private landfill for your company in Dumpster Controls

Your transfer station is not in the catalog? Add it yourself. It becomes usable by your company immediately, no approval needed, and the team may later share it with everyone.

## Open the form
In the "Nearby Landfills" window, click "Suggest Landfill" in the header. The "Add a new landfill" dialog opens, explaining: "This landfill isn't in our catalog yet. By adding it, you're helping other dumpster companies find it too."
## Fill in the required fields
"Landfill name" (e.g. Green Valley Transfer Station), "Address" (start typing and pick from the autocomplete; city, state, and ZIP fill in automatically), "City", "State", and "ZIP" are all required.
## Add optional info
"Phone (optional)" and "Notes to admin (optional)" with the placeholder "Anything our team should know? (gate codes, hours, restrictions...)".
## Save
Click "Add landfill". A toast confirms "Thanks for contributing!": the landfill is now available for your company, and the team will review it and may add it to the public catalog so other dumpster companies can use it too.

What happens next

The landfill appears in your list with a "Private" badge and is "Visible only to your company until our team reviews and promotes it to the shared community list."
It can be chosen on orders and driver routes immediately, and the app geocodes the address so it shows on maps and sorts by distance.
Private landfills cannot be rated while private.
Drivers and dispatchers can open this same dialog from the landfill pickers on orders ("Add new landfill").

Troubleshooting

I get "Missing required fields".

The hint says "Name, address, city, state and ZIP are required." Fill them all and save again.

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.
