Dumpster Controls in Canada · updated 2026-08-10

How to set your company country to Canada

The country setting is what switches your company to the Canadian payment model (CAD, domestic Stripe account, postal codes). New Canadian companies should set it before connecting Stripe.

Before you start

  • You are the company owner or an admin.
  • Your company has not yet connected a Stripe account (if it has and you believe the country is wrong, contact support instead of changing it).
  1. ## Open your company settings
    In the web app, open Settings from the sidebar and go to the "Company" tab. You will see your company profile fields: name, address, phone, and country.
  2. ## Select Canada as the country
    In the "Country" selector, choose "Canada" and save. From this moment the platform treats your company as Canadian: Stripe onboarding will create a Canadian account, public booking accepts postal codes, and payments run in CAD.
  3. ## Fill your Canadian address
    Use your real province code (ON, QC, BC, AB, MB, SK, NS, NB, NL, PE, YT, NT, NU) and postal code. Distance sorting for landfills and the booking coverage check depend on it.

What happens next

  • Connect your Stripe account next, so you can take card payments. See the article "How to connect your Canadian Stripe account".

Troubleshooting

I already connected Stripe as a US company by mistake.

If the Stripe account was never activated, the platform detects it and creates a fresh Canadian account when you retry onboarding. If it already has activity, open a support ticket and the team migrates it safely.

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.
