They filter the list and jump to the top of every landfill picker in the app. 1. ## Favorite from a card In the "Nearby Landfills" list, click the heart button on a landfill card (tooltip: "Add to favorites"). The heart fills in. Click again ("Remove from favorites") to undo. 2. ## Filter to favorites only Click the "Favorites" chip in the filter bar to hide everything else. 3. ## See them everywhere Favorites are shared with your whole company and sort first in the landfill pickers: the dispatcher's suggested landfill on a pickup, and the driver's destination choice in the driver app. After favorites come your private landfills, then everything else by distance. ## What happens next - You can also toggle favorites with the star icon directly inside the suggested landfill picker on an order. ## Troubleshooting ### My favorite is not at the top of the main list. The "Nearby Landfills" list follows the selected sort (Nearest, Top Rated, Most Reviewed, Cheapest). Use the "Favorites" chip to isolate them. The favorites-first ordering applies to the pickers used on orders. ## Related guides - [How to suggest a landfill for the driver in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/inventory/suggest-a-landfill-for-the-driver) - [How to choose a landfill destination in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/choose-a-landfill-destination) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.

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.
