    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. 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. 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 shows a red banner on the inventory row telling you bookings are disabled.

    3. 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. 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

    • Deleting removes the size and its units permanently; past orders keep their history but lose the size link.
    • A zero-unit active size shows a red warning on its row because you cannot accept orders for a size with no registered units; use the "+" stepper or "Edit" to set how many you own.

    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.
