How to add your dumpster sizes and prices in Dumpster Controls

Sizes are the heart of your catalog: they set what customers can rent, at what price, and how many physical cans you can commit.

1. 1

   Open Registered Inventory

   Go to the "Registered Inventory" page ("Manage your dumpster fleet") and click "Add Dumpster". The wizard "Register Company Dumpsters" opens.

2. 2

   Pick one size

   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".

3. 3

   Set your unit count

   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.

4. 4

   Add an image and prices

   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:".

5. 5

   Configure weight 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:", plus optional flat "Weight Packages".

6. 6

   Configure fees and the customer portal

   On the "Additional fees" step, toggle "Fuel Surcharge (FSC)?", "Do you charge sales tax?", "Rescheduling fee?", and "Cancellation fee?". Under "Customer portal", the switch "Let the customer request a rental extension?" lets renters ask for extra days (always pending your approval).

7. 7

   Save

   Click "Save". A toast confirms "Dumpster size created".
