How to use the header tools and account menu in Dumpster Controls

The header follows you to every page. Its icons cover theme, the mobile app, the Tresha assistant, alerts, support, settings, and your account.

  1. ## Know the icon row
    From left to right: the sun/moon button toggles dark mode, the phone icon ("Download App") shows how to install the mobile app, the sparkles icon opens the Tresha AI assistant, the bell shows operational alerts, the headset opens "Support", and the gear jumps to your account settings. When your setup is still incomplete, a rocket icon ("Setup Guide") also appears.
  2. ## Open your account menu
    Click your name and avatar on the right. The menu header shows your name, company, role badge, and plan badge.
  3. ## Use the menu items
    "My Profile", "Company Profile", "Billing and Plan", "Configure Payouts" (your Stripe connection), "Dumpster HUB Marketplace", "Security", "Referrals", and "Support Center" each open the matching tab of your account settings.
  4. ## Sign out
    "Sign Out" at the bottom of the menu ends your session.

What happens next

  • The gear icon is a shortcut to the same account settings as "My Profile".

Troubleshooting

I do not see the rocket icon anymore.

The "Setup Guide" icon shows while onboarding is available for your account. Once setup is behind you it goes away; the alerts bell and the Dashboard checklist continue to flag anything missing.

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.
