Dumpster invoicing software is the invoicing software for a dumpster company: it writes the dumpster rental invoice from the order, sends it by SMS and email with a payment link, takes the card, chases the unpaid ones with reminders and charges the overweight fee to the card on file after the landfill. In Dumpster Controls all of it is included free for any fleet size; the only optional cost is card processing when a customer pays by card. The screen at the top of this page is the real one, running on sample data.
The way to get paid faster on dumpster rental is not landing more jobs. It is getting paid on the jobs you already ran, the same day. Invoicing is part of our free dumpster rental software, with unlimited invoices and customers. Stripe handles the money; the software handles the follow-up.

Where it runs
How dumpster invoicing software gets you paid
Six steps, none of them manual after the pickup is marked complete.
- 1
#### 01. Order completed
Dispatcher or driver marks the pickup complete; the invoice carries the right total, with the landfill receipt the driver photographed. - 2
#### 02. SMS and email sent
The customer gets one text and one email with one link to the public invoice. No app, no login. - 3
#### 03. Customer pays online
Stripe checkout from the phone, with the card kept on file. Funds settle to your Stripe Connect account. - 4
#### 04. Or reminders run
If unpaid: one reminder a day, by email and SMS, for up to 10 days, stopping the moment it is paid. - 5
#### 05. Extra fee on the card on file
Overweight from the receipt, a trip charge or damage, with photos, charged to the saved card or sent as its own link. - 6
#### 06. Books update themselves
Received, Unpaid, Accounts receivable and Order History read the same source, so nothing is reconciled by hand.

What this means for you
- Invoicing on completion instead of on Friday removes days of waiting from every job.
- The customer pays from the phone in their hand, from a text, with no account to create.
- The card kept on file at booking covers the overweight fee after the dump, with no second bill to chase.

How we make money: only when you opt in, and the numbers are public. The software is free with unlimited orders and no per-order software fee. If you choose to collect a customer’s card payment through Dumpster Controls, the processing fee is 2.99% + $3.99 per card transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 (the standard Stripe rate) on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan. Take payment by cash, check, Zelle or any other way and you pay nothing at all. Beyond that, our revenue comes from the optional Unlimited plan and from equipment partners and sponsors advertising in the app and on our public directory; our marketplace, the Dumpster Net Hub, charges zero marketplace fees. Run your own business your way and you never pay to use the software. It’s the only model that lets a 1-truck owner-operator run on the same software as a 50-truck fleet.
AR aging inside the dumpster invoicing software
Money you already earned ages in 30+ day receivables while you chase it by phone. The aging view shows who owes what today, in four buckets, with cancelled orders excluded.
Accounts receivable on the real Finances page, sample data.
What this means for you
- The dashboard, the AR view and rental history show the same unpaid total, because they read the same field.
- You can see which customers are drifting past 30 days before it becomes a collections problem.
- Reminders for those invoices are already going out.
Get paid faster on dumpster rental: reminders by text, with the thread to prove it
Each reminder is an SMS and an email with the same link to the public invoice, one a day for up to 10 days. The conversation stays on the order, so anyone in the office can see what was sent and when.
What the customer receives automatically at delivery, sample data.
What this means for you
- You stop being the person who calls about money.
- Reminders pause automatically when the customer is moved to a Super Invoice, so nobody is asked twice.
- Booking, dispatch and messaging feed the same order. See dumpster booking software and dumpster dispatch software.
Under the hood
Stripe-native, isolated per company
Every Stripe call carries the stripeAccount header for your Connect account. Your customers, your funds, separate from every other company on the platform.
Totals computed on the server
Edge functions accept only an invoice_id and recalculate totals server-side. The database is the single source of truth.
Super Invoice mechanics
The Stripe webhook splits the payment proportionally across the child orders and marks each paid. Stripe sessions expire when the Super Invoice is updated or cancelled, so a stale link cannot be paid.
Aging that agrees with the dashboard
Aging buckets exclude cancelled orders. Dashboard, AR view and rental history all use invoices.total in sent or overdue status.
The dumpster rental invoice, paid, in Finances
Received, invoiced and expenses by week, from the same Stripe Connect data.
The real Finances overview, sample data.
What this means for you
- Cash received and cash still owed are two different lines, on one chart.
- Margin per order shows up in Finances without a spreadsheet.
- Completed stops from the dumpster driver app are what start the invoice.

Who dumpster invoicing software is built for
Owner-operators
You are your own AR clerk. Reminders go out while you sleep.
Small fleets (3 to 10 trucks)

Multi-yard operators
Separate Stripe Connect accounts per yard if needed, one AR view across the company.
Contractor-heavy haulers
Recurring accounts with several open invoices pay in one transaction with a Super Invoice.
Junk removal companies
Hourly and flat-rate invoicing with crew labor capture, same rails, same Stripe payouts.
Haulers who sub out overflow
Invoice the end customer at retail, pay the sub-hauler at wholesale, margin tracked per order.
