# Dumpster management software

Dumpster management software is the operating system of a container business: orders, dispatch, driver routes, container inventory, invoicing and landfill costs in one place. It replaces the spreadsheet-plus-whiteboard-plus-texts stack that most haulers start with.

Last updated August 23, 2026 Published by [Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/about), 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

- Order intake by phone, web booking or marketplace
- Drag-and-drop dispatch with driver assignments
- Container inventory and rental-period tracking
- Invoicing, card payments and unpaid-balance chasing
- Landfill cost capture and per-order profitability

## Where Dumpster Controls fits

Dumpster Controls covers all five modules free, with unlimited orders, plus extras the paid platforms do not have: a zero-fee marketplace for overflow jobs, a 2,911 facility landfill database, and Tresha, an AI assistant that runs the platform by chat or voice. 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.
