# How to change your app language in Dumpster Controls

The app speaks English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Your choice follows your account everywhere, including emails and notifications sent to you.

1. ## Open your profile
  Click your avatar in the header and choose "My Profile" (or click the gear icon).
2. ## Pick a language
  In the "Language" dropdown, choose "English", "Português (Brasil)", or "Español". The helper text confirms the scope: "This changes the language across your entire account."
3. ## Watch it apply
  The interface switches immediately and a toast confirms "Language updated" with "Your preferred language has been saved."

## What happens next

- The preference is saved to your profile, so server-sent notifications use it too, and it persists across devices and sessions.

## Troubleshooting

### Some pages are still in English.

The language setting covers the app itself. Public marketing pages and your public booking site content are not translated by this setting.

## 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.
