Glossary

Roll-off container tracking

Roll-off container tracking is knowing, at any moment, where each roll-off can is, which customer has it and how long it has been on site. Software-based tracking uses the driver's delivery and pickup confirmations instead of GPS hardware, because a container only moves when one of your trucks moves it.

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

  • Per-container history: every site it has visited, with dates
  • Overdue-rental alerts before a can quietly sits for weeks
  • Photo condition records at drop and pickup, useful for damage disputes
  • Yard inventory versus on-site counts at a glance
  • Swap workflows that keep the chain of custody straight

Where Dumpster Controls fits

Dumpster Controls tracks unlimited roll-off containers free, through the same driver app your drivers already use for routes. GPS hardware vendors charge per device plus a monthly fee per can; our tracking rides on workflow, so it costs $0 at 10 cans or 1,000. 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.
