Dumpster Controls in Canada · updated 2026-08-12
How your Canadian account shows CAD everywhere
Once your company country is Canada, the whole platform follows: a Canadian flag badge in the header, and CAD amounts across booking, invoices, emails, PDFs, dashboard and profit reports.
- ## Spot the flag badge
The app header shows a Canadian flag with "CAD" next to it (US companies see the US flag with "USD"). The same badge appears next to the country selector in Account, under Company. - ## Customer-facing money is in CAD
Invoice emails and PDFs, payment reminders, estimates, extra-charge receipts and the public invoice page all show C$ amounts. Your booking page charges in CAD on your own Stripe account, and the fee shown to customers is the Canadian rate. - ## Your reports are in CAD too
The Dashboard revenue chart, the Orders P&L page and the Finances (CAD) view read your Canadian payments directly, so every paid CAD order shows its real revenue. - ## SMS compliance is built in
Customer texts go out from the registered toll-free number, and a customer who replies STOP is unsubscribed automatically from future broadcast messages.
What happens next
- If any screen still shows a plain $ for your CAD amounts, it reads the same number, only the symbol is being updated; the charged and refunded values are always CAD.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dumpster Controls really free?
Yes. The software is free: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.
Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?
No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.
Is there a contract?
No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional Unlimited plan is billed month to month.
Which countries and languages are supported?
Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.
How do I switch from another dumpster software?
Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
