Canadian customers see a "Postal Code" field that accepts the A1A 1A1 format. 2. ## Coverage check runs in Canada If you configured a delivery radius, the distance check geocodes the customer's postal code inside Canada, so an Ontario customer is never matched against a US ZIP. 3. ## Customer pays in CAD The payment step charges the customer's card in Canadian dollars directly on your Stripe account. The order, invoice and confirmation emails are created exactly like a US booking. ## Troubleshooting ### The postal code field only accepts numbers. That is the US ZIP mask, which means your company country is not set to Canada. Fix it in Settings, Company tab, and reload the booking page. ## Related guides - [How to set your company country to Canada](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/canada/set-your-company-country-to-canada) - [How Canadian pricing and card fees work](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/canada/understand-canadian-pricing-and-fees) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.

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.
