How to search, filter, and sort customers in Dumpster Controls

The toolbar above the table narrows hundreds of profiles down to the one you need in seconds.

  1. ## Search
    Type in the box with the placeholder "Search customers...". It matches the customer's name, company name, and email as you type.
  2. ## Filter by status
    The status dropdown offers "All Status", "Active", and "Inactive". Inactive profiles keep their full history but drop out of the default workflows.
  3. ## Filter by type
    The type dropdown offers "All Types", "Residential", "Contractor", and "Broker", each with its icon.
  4. ## Sort
    Click the "Name", "Lifetime Value", or "Orders" column headers to sort; click again to flip the direction. The count next to the filters shows how many customers match.
  5. ## Select rows
    Checkboxes on each row (and a select-all in the header) let you mark customers while you work through a list.

What happens next

  • Changing the search, a filter, or the sort resets the table to page 1.

Troubleshooting

A customer I know exists is not showing.

Check the status filter: they may be "Inactive". Also try searching by email or company name instead of the person's name.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The entire app is free for any company at any fleet size: 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. The entire app is free; an optional $169 per month plan lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30 and adds a Sponsored spotlight in the public company directory. 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 $169 lower card rate 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.
