Every other dumpster rental software in the market starts with a price tag. Hauler Hero, ServiceCore, Discordia, Trash Flow, Basestation: they all charge for it. Dumpster Controls is the only platform that gives you the full software for free, with unlimited orders, no credit card, no trial expiration and no feature paywalls. There's no software fee to pay, ever. It works for dumpster rental and junk removal, and you can run the whole app by chat or by voice with Tresha.

Free means free. Forever.
How we make money: only when you opt in. The software is 100% free with unlimited orders. The only optional cost is payment processing, and only if you choose to collect a customer’s card payment through us. We also earn through the optional Dumpster Net Hub marketplace. Run your own business your way and you never pay to use the software.
Why is Dumpster Controls free?
Because we believe a 1-truck operator should run on the same software as a 50-truck fleet. The dumpster industry is full of small, hard-working companies that simply cannot justify a bill before their first job lands. So instead of charging a subscription, we keep the software 100% free with unlimited orders. We only earn if you opt in to optional payment processing, when you choose to collect a customer's card through us, or to the Dumpster Net Hub marketplace, never a fee to run your own business. When you have a slow month, you still pay nothing.

Who is the free dumpster software for?
- Owner-operators running 1-3 trucks who can't justify a bill before they have steady volume.
- Established haulers tired of overpaying for legacy software with hidden per-user fees.
- New entrants launching a dumpster business who want to look professional from day one.
- Junk removal companies adding roll-off as a service line.
- Construction firms running internal dumpster fleets.
We were paying for software we barely used. Switched to Dumpster Controls: same features, free for our volume. We reinvested that money in another truck.
