How to track unpaid money from the Finances dashboard
The dashboard gives you two views of money you are owed: the "Unpaid" tile and the "Accounts receivable" card with your top debtors.
- ## Watch the Unpaid tile
"Unpaid" totals everything billed in the period that has not been collected, including commercial account orders that are not on a statement yet: the work is done and the money will come with the statement. Those orders never count as overdue until their statement is sent. The tile highlights in amber whenever the amount is above zero, and the trend badge treats a decrease as good news. - ## Open the Accounts receivable card
It lists your top 3 customers by unpaid amount, followed by a "Total unpaid" line. When everything is collected it simply says "Nothing unpaid. Nice." - ## Jump to the orders
Click "See all" (it shows the count of unpaid items) to open Order History, where each order has actions like "Send Payment Link", "Charge Card on File", and "Mark as Paid" to actually collect. Commercial account orders have none of these: they are collected through the customer's statement.
What happens next
- The Orders P&L page shows the same debt from the profit angle: its "Uncollected" tile totals invoiced orders with no payment received.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dumpster Controls really free?
Yes. 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. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
