Learn where each piece of your day lives. 1. ## Use the bottom tabs "My Tasks" is your day list, "Map" draws it on Google Maps, "Messages" is chat with the office and teammates, and "Profile" holds your personal info. 2. ## Open the menu Tap the menu button in the top-left corner. It lists "My Tasks", "Map", "Messages", "Profile", "Settings", "Ask Tresha", "Theme", and "Sign out". 3. ## Pick a theme Under "Theme" choose "Light Mode", "Dark Mode", "Match Phone" (follows your phone's light and dark setting), or "Automatic" (light until 6 PM, then dark). 4. ## Switch language Tap the globe icon in the top bar to pick your language. The whole app follows it. 5. ## Ask Tresha "Ask Tresha" in the menu opens the built-in assistant in a drawer, so you can ask questions without leaving your route. ## What happens next - The pill with your initials in the top-right corner is a shortcut to your profile. - Tapping the Dumpster Controls logo always returns you to "My Tasks". ## Troubleshooting ### The app tells me to update. When a required version ships you will see "Update Required" with "A new version of Dumpster Controls is available. Please update the app to continue." Tap "Update Now" to get it from the store. ## Related guides - [How to read your task list in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/read-your-task-list) - [How to use the driver map in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/use-the-driver-map) © 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.
