How to edit, pause, or delete a dumpster size in Dumpster Controls

Prices change, cans get sold. The size row gives you a safe edit path, a booking pause switch, and a triple-guarded delete.

  1. Edit a size

    Click "Edit" on the size row. The wizard reopens with everything pre-filled: quantity, image, prices, weight, and fees. Changing the quantity adds units with the next serials or deactivates the newest available ones. Click "Update"; a toast confirms "Size updated".

  2. Pause bookings for a size

    Inside the edit wizard, the switch "Size active (available for booking)" controls whether customers can book it. A paused size is hidden from the list by default; a red "Paused sizes" chip appears in the page header with the count. Click that chip to show the paused rows, each with a red banner telling you bookings are disabled.

  3. Set the booking flags

    On the size row, the "Default" toggle pre-selects this size in online booking, and the "Popular" toggle shows the POPULAR badge there. Only one size can hold each flag; turning it on removes it from the others.

  4. Delete a size, three steps deep

    The trash icon starts "Delete Dumpster Size", which warns it permanently deletes the size and all its units. "Type to Confirm" requires typing the exact size label, and "Final Confirmation" ends with "Delete Forever".

What happens next

Troubleshooting

Deletion is blocked with "Cannot delete".

Some units are currently in use ("unit(s) are currently in use. Remove them first."). Complete or reassign their orders, then retry.

I paused a size and now I cannot find it to turn it back on.

Paused sizes are hidden from the list. Click the red "Paused sizes" chip in the page header to show them, then click "Edit" on the paused row and turn the "Size active (available for booking)" switch back on. The total fleet counter keeps counting the units of a paused size, so a hidden size explains a fleet total that is larger than what the list shows.
