A dumpster rental app, the way Dumpster Controls builds it, is one app for the dumpster company and its customers. The office takes the booking, puts it on a driver, invoices it and keeps the customer's record in the browser. The drivers run their stops on the native iOS and Android app with photo proof. The customers book and pay on your booking page, ask their question in the chat on that page, and get the confirmation, the on the way text and the delivered text with the photos on their own. It is free for any fleet size, with unlimited orders, and the screen at the top of this page is the real one, with sample data.

It is the app side of our dumpster rental software, and it runs dumpster rental and junk removal from one login.

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.

Dumpster rental app for customers: the chat and the texts
The customer never installs anything. The question they ask in the chat on your booking page lands in Messages, and your reply shows live on their screen. The confirmation when they book, the on the way text when the driver starts, the delivered text with the photos in the email, the picked up text, the payment link and the reminders all go out from the order on their own. Drivers and the office chat in the same inbox.
The real Messages screen: team chat, driver chats and booking-page customer chat, sample data.
What this means for you
- The question about the delivery window is answered from the office, not from somebody's personal phone.
- The order tracking link goes to the customer by text: status, dates and the timeline, plus early pickup and paid extension requests that you approve.
- Payment links and daily reminders for up to 10 days go out by email and text. See dumpster invoicing software.
The dashboard: the dumpster app for the office
Orders waiting delivery and pickup, landfill runs, the live fleet map, drivers on shift and weekly revenue, in any browser.
