    How to browse the public Landfill Finder in Dumpster Controls

    The same landfill database is a free public tool at dumpstercontrols.io/landfills: no signup required to search dump sites, compare tipping fees, and plan disposal anywhere in the country.

    1. 1

      Open the finder

      Visit dumpstercontrols.io/landfills. The header reads "Find Landfills Near You for Dumpster Disposal" with live stats for "Active Landfills", "States & Provinces", and "Countries".

    2. 2

      Use the map

      The map plots every landfill in the current filter with star-rated markers, clustered when zoomed out. Click a marker for the name, address, rating, and a "View Landfill" link. The "Near Me" button uses your location to jump to your state and city.

    3. 3

      Filter and sort

      Search with "Search name, city, address, zip, county...", or narrow with the "All States" and "All Cities" dropdowns and the minimum rating selector ("Any Rating" up to 4+ stars). Sort by "Top Rated" or "Most Reviewed". The bar shows how many landfills match.

    4. 4

      Open a landfill page

      Click "View Details" on a card. Each landfill has its own public page with location, a "Tipping Fees" section showing "Per Ton" and "Per Yard" rates with their source ("Staff verified" or "User reported") and update date, plus reviews.

    5. 5

      Unlock the community layer

      Review text is locked for visitors ("Reviews are locked"). The banner "Sign up free to unlock reviews, ratings & community data" links to the free account signup; once signed in you can read and write reviews on the public pages too.

    What happens next

    • The public database is licensed CC BY 4.0: free to cite and reuse with attribution to Dumpster Controls.
    • Everything you contribute publicly (fees, edits, reviews) also improves the list your dispatchers and drivers see inside the app.

    Troubleshooting

    "No landfills found" on the public page.

    The hint suggests trying a different state, city, or search term. Clearing the state dropdown searches the whole country.
