Here is how to get it on your phone. ## Before you start - A driver account created by your company (you receive an invite to set your password). 1. ## Open the get-app page Visit /driver/get-app on dumpstercontrols.io, or follow the link from your invite. The page is titled "Get the Driver App" and shows the email to use under "Sign in with this email". 2. ## Download from your store On a phone, tap "Download the app": iPhones go to the App Store and Android phones go to Google Play, both to the app named "Dumpster Controls". On a desktop, scan the iPhone or Android QR code with your phone, or tap a store badge. 3. ## Sign in Open the app and sign in with your driver email and password. You land on "My Tasks" with your assigned stops. 4. ## Allow the permissions The app asks for notifications shortly after you sign in so assignment alerts reach you. Location, background location, and camera can be reviewed any time under "Settings" in the "Permissions" section. ## What happens next - If the app is already installed, the "Already installed? Open the app" link on the get-app page jumps straight into it. - You can also work from a mobile browser: tap "Continue in the browser instead" on the get-app page. The screens are the same. ## Troubleshooting ### I see "Driver profile not linked" after signing in. Your account is not connected to a driver record. The message says it directly: "Your account is not connected to a driver record. Please contact your dispatcher." ## Related guides - [How to find your way around the Driver App in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/find-your-way-around-the-driver-app) - [How to manage your profile, settings, and documents in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/manage-your-profile-settings-and-documents) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.

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.
