How to share your booking site on day one in Dumpster Controls

Your hosted booking page exists from the moment your account does. Seeing and sharing it early is the fastest way to feel the product working.

  1. ## Find the card on the dashboard
    Inside the setup checklist, the card "Your booking site already exists" explains: "Customers pick a size, a date and pay by card. The order lands on your board by itself."
  2. ## Preview it
    Click "View my site" to open your live page at a link like https://dumpstercontrols.io/book?company=your-company in a new tab.
  3. ## Share the link
    Click "Copy link" (a toast confirms "Link copied!") and paste it anywhere: Instagram bio, Google Business profile, text messages.
  4. ## Turn booking on
    While booking is off, the card shows "Turn it on". It opens the "Online Booking" module, where the toggle flips between "PAUSED" and "LIVE". Going live requires a connected Stripe account; the toast confirms "Online Booking is LIVE ✅".

What happens next

  • The checklist step "Turn on online booking" turns green once the page is live.
  • New online orders land on your dispatch board automatically, with the customer, size, dates, and payment already attached.

Troubleshooting

The toggle opens a Stripe popup instead of going live.

Online booking cannot accept card payments without a payout account. Connect Stripe first, then flip the toggle.

I want prices and photos on the page first.

The page sells what your inventory defines. Add your dumpster sizes with prices and images, then review the page with "View my site".

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.
