The customer finishes early and wants the can gone, or is not finished and keeps it without telling anyone, or the driver ran out of daylight and the pickup slid to tomorrow without anyone writing that down. **Dumpster scheduling software** exists so that the second appointment is as real as the first. In Dumpster Controls, every order carries its delivery date, pickup date and due date from the moment it is created, and 370+ hauling companies run 2,600+ containers on those dates (counted 2026-09-23, test accounts excluded), free. Scheduling is the dates. Dispatch is the order of stops inside a driver's day, covered at [dumpster dispatch software](https://dumpstercontrols.io/dumpster-dispatch-software). This page stays on the dates. ## Schedule deliveries and pickups A delivery order requires a delivery date, a pickup date and a due date plus the address, whether it is created by the office or booked online, and it generates one task for each date. The Operations page shows them on two tabs, Deliveries and Pickups, each with urgency chips: Total, Late, Today, Tomorrow and Next Week. Clicking a chip filters the list, and the counters refresh about every 30 seconds. Changing a date is a pencil icon on the Delivery Date or Pickup Date row in the order drawer. Pick the new date, confirm, and the order, every active dispatch task and the order timeline move together, with the change logged under your name. That last part is the difference between a schedule and a whiteboard: three weeks later, the timeline says who moved the pickup and when. Assigning the driver happens in the same drawer, or on the Dispatch board, and the two are the same data. Pick a driver, save, and the task lands in that driver's lane for that day; the driver's phone gets a push notification titled Task Assigned and a text with the address. Each lane shows an estimated day length with a projected finish time, which is the number that tells a dispatcher whether one more pickup fits. ![A roll-off driver in the cab with the Dumpster Controls app mounted on the dash showing the current job: a 20 yard delivery for ABC Construction in Nashville, scheduled May 23 from 8 to 10 AM, a placement note, and the Arrived On Site and Drop Off buttons](https://dumpstercontrols.io/Driver-Dumpster-Controls-app.webp) *Where the schedule ends up: the date and time window on the driver's screen, with a date strip to flip between days.* ## When the schedule changes ### Late An order whose date passed without completion is late, and the software says so in four places: the Late chip in Operations, a Late header in the Dispatch pool where late tasks carry forward onto today's board automatically, a red LATE chip on the driver's task card, and the Dashboard alerts card that also feeds the bell icon on every page. On a phone, the Dispatch overview shows a red Late counter with the message "assign or reschedule them". Nothing late falls off the board by itself. ### Swaps When a full can needs an empty one, Swap on the pickup card creates the replacement delivery in one dialog. The new pickup date auto-fills to match the original rental length and stays editable, the dialog shows the rental period in days and flags when it differs from the original, and the new delivery task inherits the driver already assigned to the pickup, so one trip handles the drop and the collection. The two tasks are linked as swap peers. ### The customer's request Every order has a no-login tracking link, usually delivered by text, that shows the delivery and pickup dates and the step tracker. From it the customer can ask for an earlier pickup, or for a paid extension quoted at your per-day rate. Both arrive in the pickup drawer as a request that has changed nothing yet, with Original date against Requested date, and you Approve or Reject with a reason the customer sees. Approving an extension moves the pickup date and records the extra days, and if automatic charging is on it charges the saved card first and only moves the date when the charge succeeds. The Free Forever Promise ### Free means free. Forever. Operations, Dispatch, the driver app, the customer tracking link and unlimited SMS and email reminders are all on the free plan. $0 Monthly fee Ever. No surprise charges. $0 Setup fee No onboarding cost. $0 Per-user fee Unlimited admins, drivers, dispatchers. $0 Annual contract Cancel anytime. We never auto-charge. **How we make money:** only when you opt in, and the numbers are public. The software is 100% 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.

Either way the same dates have to be visible to the office, the driver and the customer, and this is where each one shows up. *Every scheduling event and the screen that owns it. All included on the free plan.* ## Days customers can and cannot book The booking page picks delivery and pickup dates on calendars, and two settings decide what is open. The Weekly Schedule blocks days of the week. Holidays and Blackout Dates blocks exact dates: flip one switch to block every national holiday for your country, United States federal holidays or Canadian holidays, reopen the ones your crew works, and click up to 60 custom dates for a vacation week or a maintenance day. Blocked dates are struck through, the quick-pick button skips to the next open day, and a computed pickup that lands on a blocked day moves to the next open one. If no open day exists in the next 90 days, the page stops suggesting and asks the customer to pick. ## What the schedule connects to Invoices carry the due date, and automatic payment reminders run from it. Tresha, the built-in assistant, answers "what should I deliver today?" with the live schedule by text or voice. The public REST API reads orders by date range (GET /v1/orders with from and to) and sends a signed webhook on order.status_changed. The container side, sizes, units by serial and what is available on a given date, is covered at [dumpster rental inventory software](https://dumpstercontrols.io/dumpster-rental-inventory-software); the whole operation is at [dumpster management software](https://dumpstercontrols.io/dumpster-management-software); and [dumpster rental software cost](https://dumpstercontrols.io/dumpster-rental-software-cost) shows what scheduling costs elsewhere per month. ## Dumpster scheduling software: FAQ ### Explore the platform [Software for Dumpster Companies The #1 free software built specifically for dumpster rental companies.](https://dumpstercontrols.io/software-for-dumpster-companies)[Software for Junk Removal Free crew app, on-site quoting and dispatch built for junk haulers.](https://dumpstercontrols.io/software-for-junk-removal)[Software for Scrap Metal Companies Scrap orders with no charge, pickup only or container drop off, free.
