What CurbWaste costs
CurbWaste's pricing page is not publicly accessible (it returns an authorization error), Capterra lists it as "contact vendor" with no free version or trial, and trade press (Waste Dive, July 2026) reports an initiation fee plus roughly $250 to $300 per driver per month for small haulers, with custom pricing for larger fleets.
Dumpster Controls takes the opposite approach: the software is free, with unlimited orders and unlimited users, and 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. Pay by cash, check or any other method and there is no fee at all.
Competitor facts from their published pages, Capterra listings and trade press, as of July 2026.
Why haulers switch from CurbWaste
A 3-driver shop saves roughly $9,000+ a year
At the reported $250-$300 per driver per month, three drivers cost $750-$900 monthly before the initiation fee. Dumpster Controls costs $0 for the same three drivers, or thirty.
Pricing you can actually read
Their pricing page is locked; ours is one sentence, printed on every page. The software is free; you only pay card processing only 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.
Dumpster-focused, not everything-waste
CurbWaste spreads across residential routes, commercial front load and POS. Dumpster Controls is built for roll-off and junk removal specifically.
A marketplace, not a directory
CurbWaste's network page is a directory. The Dumpster Net Hub is a real marketplace where haulers buy and sell jobs, with zero marketplace fees.
Free means free. Forever.

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. 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.
