Sizes are the heart of your catalog: they set what customers can rent, at what price, and how many physical cans you can commit.
Go to the "Registered Inventory" page ("Manage your dumpster fleet") and click "Add Dumpster". The wizard "Register Company Dumpsters" opens.
Choose a size button such as "20 Yard" (options run from 2 to 40 yards). The wizard warns: register one dumpster size at a time; you can add and edit more later. Click "Next".
Answer "How many dumpsters do you own?" with the plus and minus stepper. Leaving it at 0 shows a warning that you will not be able to accept orders for this size, so set the number of physical cans you own.
Optionally upload a photo under "Dumpster Illustration Image" ("Click to upload an image"). Under "Set Your Rental Prices:" fill "Rent for 24 hours price:", the toggleable tiers "Rent for up to 3 days price:", "Rent for up to 7 days price:", "Rent for up to 14 days price:", "Rent for up to 30 days price:", and "Additional daily charges:".
On the "Extra Weight Charge" step, answer "Do you charge based on weight?" with "Add" or "No". If yes, set "Initial weight included (Ton):" and "Additional charge per Ton:".
On the "Additional fees" step, toggle "Fuel Surcharge (FSC)?" and "Do you charge sales tax?". Under "Customer portal", the switch "Let the customer request a rental extension?" lets renters ask for extra days (always pending your approval).
Click "Save". A toast confirms "Dumpster size created".
You must select a size button first.
Edit the size and turn off "Size active (available for booking)". Paused sizes stop taking bookings without deleting your data.
