How to search and sort the landfill list in Dumpster Controls

Four sort modes and a smart search make it fast to answer the real question: where should this load go today?

  1. ## Search
    Type in the box labeled "Search by name, city, zip...". Matches run against the landfill name, city, ZIP code, and county.
  2. ## Pick a sort mode
    Use the chips under the search box: "Nearest" (default, by distance from your company address), "Top Rated" (best community rating first), "Most Reviewed" (most rated first), and "Cheapest".
  3. ## Understand "Cheapest"
    Hover the "Cheapest" chip to see its tooltip: "Uses estimated real cost including typical fees." It ranks landfills by the estimated cost of a typical dump, not just the sticker price per ton.
  4. ## Filter to your favorites
    Click the "Favorites" chip (with the heart icon) to show only the landfills you have favorited. Click it again to see the full list.

What happens next

  • Changing the search or sort resets the list to the first page of results.
  • When distances are unknown, the list still puts landfills in your own city first.

Troubleshooting

"Cheapest" put a landfill with no price at the bottom.

That is expected: landfills without pricing data cannot be ranked by cost, so they sort last. Add price info to help the community.

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.
