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:".

6. 6

   Configure fees and the customer portal

   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).

7. 7

   Save

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