Glossary

Dumpster tracking software

Dumpster tracking software keeps a live record of where every container is: which job site, which customer, since when, and when it is due back. Modern systems track through the driver app, using drop-off and pickup confirmations with photos, which means you do not need to bolt a GPS tracker to every can.

Last updated August 23, 2026 Published by Dumpster Controls, built by a software group led by a founder with 20+ years in enterprise IT who also ran a roll-off business for four years

What it includes

  • Container inventory with serial numbers and sizes
  • Live status per can: in yard, on site, overdue, at landfill
  • Photo proof of delivery and pickup from the driver app
  • Rental-period clocks with overdue alerts
  • Utilization reporting: which cans earn and which sit idle

Where Dumpster Controls fits

Hardware GPS trackers cost from $5 to $20 per container per month before you buy the devices. Dumpster Controls tracks every container free through the driver app workflow: every drop and pickup is confirmed with a photo and a timestamp, so the map stays true without hardware. The software is free; the only cost is card processing when a customer pays by card: 2.99% + $3.99 per transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan.
